While knitting "The Blues" striped scarf, I made a really cool discovery. The colors seemed very familiar to me and reminded me of something -- the Unikat Poncho I made last year! I pulled the poncho out of summer storage and sure enough, the colors are exact! So now I have a matching scarf for the Unikat Poncho this fall. Now, if the colder weather would only get here!!!! The Carnival Scarf is in the home stretch, and as well as another one of the chemo caps.
It is time to start thinking about Christmas knitting! In preparation for the Christmas Knit A Thon, I am in the process of trying to organize my yarn stash. I am discovering all sorts of forgotten treasures! I want to make a trial run of a couple of the free patterns the Knit Picks. I have already mentioned the free pattern from the Knit Picks catalog -- the Potato Chip Scarf. There is another free pattern on their website that I am anxious to try. It is Stockpot Scarves:

I think they would make great Christmas presents and would be a good way to use up stash yarns, too. Actually, Knit Picks has some really great free patterns online. Check them out!
