Hubby's Shark Scarf




This is my first double knit project that I started May 2014 and I hope to finish before winter 2015.  My hubby loves sharks so he is excited to get this scarf.  The problem is that in an hour I might get 3 rows done.  The pattern is very well written and once I wrote out the pattern for the repeat argyle pattern it went faster.  You have to knit the first stitch and then purl in the other color.  It gets more complicated when I get to end when it will say the same phrases in Chinese.

Pattern:   http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/save-the-sharks-argyle-scarf

Yarn:  Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids & Quatro Colors in Steel and Marine

Now I Have a Horse Request!


It took me an hour to make this last night.  Good thing I know about how a shark looks to put the fins right.  I think the designer meant them to be knitted in the row but the instructions weren't clear.  I would have stuffed it earlier but was waiting for the instructions to say when.  I managed to stuff it while I still had 3 stitches on the needle.  It's done in size 6 with worsted weight.  Pattern is here:  http://mimulusknit.blogspot.com/2009/12/im-dreaming-of-great-white-christmas.html  I've been asked to do a horse next.  Off to search Ravelry for a pattern!
