Knitting: My Rae Collection... So far... ~.^

I just absolutely LOVE this pattern! The Rae scarf is still one of my absolute favourite scarf patterns. However... A close second is one that I just started knitting up yesterday... The Strathcona... Stay tuned to find out how it's going... :D 

Jane Richmond is just fantastic!

Knit Project: Rae Scarf #4... DONE!

And... Also on my list of finished projects... My fourth Rae Scarf by Jane Richmond. I just finished a few minutes ago and so excited to share. It's so soft and the colours look great! With greens, purples & yellows (although my pics NEVER do the colours justice)... It's my new multi-seasonal scarf.

I can't express enough how much I love making this scarf. It's such a simple pattern. But such a classic and versatile shape. My absolute favourite!

And it's SO great for knitters of all levels.

Class Project: One Button Wonder... DONE!

Soooo... Here it is... FINALLY completed on March15th. I was humming and hawing about whether I should block it now or later. Hmmm... But there's so much going on right now... So I will probably save that for another time. I messed up a bit in the seaming and the style is not really suited for my shape but hey!  What the heck! It's all a learning experience for me. And besides... I just made a sweater. I MADE MY FIRST SWEATER EVAR!!! woo hoo!

So now to round off the things that I need to do now...
1. I WILL finish my Rae Scarf #4 this weekend so I can...
2. I get back to knitting up my Inara Cowl for springtime... before spring suddenly disappears on me :D

But thanks so much to Rebecca of nook for
being a super fantastic teacher and new friend!

*hugs to everyone*

Knit Project: Rae Scarf #4

I know I should be working on my sweater for my knitting class... but I HAD to start my Rae scarf... and well... now I can't put it down. It's looking pretty good so far. The colours are beautiful! Plum, purple, green and a golden yellow. It will definitely be my all season scarf :)

And now I'm on to my 2nd ball of yarn and that means speedy decreases... woot! I can't wait ^.^

Knit Project: A-a-and Yet ANOTHER Rae Scarf

I can't tell you how much I LOVE making this scarf. The fact that this is my FOURTH one that I'm knitting should give a little bit of a clue :D Jane Richmond's Rae Scarf  is such a wonderfully simple knit and is such a classic accessory.

Step 1
Purchase the yarn you've been fawning over for the last few months
(diamond yarn: luxury-collection: footloose)

Step 2
Have a wonderful friend wind it into a cake for you...
(thank you SO much Rebecca ^.^)

Step 3
Choose the correct sized needles...

On your mark... Get set... GO! GO! GO!

WOOT!

Knit Project: Stuff I'm Making...

The Rae Scarf - by Jane Richmond

I am so in LOVE with this scarf. I'm in the process of knitting up my third one. ^.^ It's a classic scarf and simple to knit.

 The first one was done using Lion Brand: Martha Stewart merino yarn in "pewter." I wanted to try out the pattern on a thicker yarn so I could easily see how the pattern worked. I had to alter the pattern a bit because was running out of yarn. :( But it knitted up quickly and It's thick and warm. Good first try it think. Sorry about the picture. The lighting was terrible and so was my camera :(
 



The second one was made using Aslan Trends: Royal Alpaca yarn in "plum." I knitted it using a larger needle so it has more drape. It's incredibly soft and light but warm and cozy too. Perfect for the transition from winter to spring.






And finally (for now... ~.^ ) I'm in the process of knitting my third Rae scarf with Regia Design Line Hand-dye Effect by Kaffe Fassett in "fog."  It's a light sock-yarn and I'm using a slightly larger needle for a lighter scarf. The hand-dye effect is beautiful on this yarn. Going through varying shades of grey. From light pewter grey to yellowy grey to a lavender grey... it looks just like fog. It will be light and lovely for spring and summer.




Knowing me I will knit up at least twelve of these scarves... Three per season should be enough for me... Lol!
