Juanita's Scarf

 I am currently experimenting with needle sizes for the next project about to appear on my WIP list.  I want to knit a scarf for Rich's mom, Juanita.  She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met, an opinion shared by just about everyone that has ever met her.  She has pretty red hair, so I thought that this green color combination would look good on her.  The yarns are Bernat Disco in Jungle Jive and Lion Brand Suede in Sage.  I will be starting this scarf soon.  The Night Life scarf is just about done.  All that remains to do is add the fringe.  And the Blues Striped Scarf is in the final few inches.  As soon as these 2 scarves moved to the Finished Projects list, Juanita's scarf will go on the WIP. 

Lion Brand Yarns has recently added some really nice new free knitting patterns on their website.  And I have also recently discovered the show "Knitty Gritty" on the DIY network.  There are also some nice patterns there, too.  I am also thinking about trying the free "Potato Chip Scarf" pattern that is on the Knit Pick's website.  It looks interesting, and recently there have been a lot of people on the Knitting Scarves Yahoo group that have been talking about this scarf.  Seems that everyone that knits one can't stop at just one - hence the name!  I like the idea of knitting each row in a different color to create a colorful spiral, making this scarf the perfect use for all of those leftover odds and ends of yarn.  One of these will probably be added to the WIP list before too long!  I may make one of these for Megan instead of a skinny scarf if it turns out cute enough.
