DH's Reversible Scarf

Here is the Reversible Scarf I am making for DH to match his Black Cap.

As mentionned in the Black Cap post, I made up that pattern.

 

Here it goes:

Using needles # 9US and worsted weight yarn, color black, I casted on 58 stitches.

Row 1: K1, *P2, K1*, repeat from * to * to the end of the row.

Row 2: K1, *K2, P1*, repeat from * to *, P1 and Knit the last stitch.

Repeat these 2 rows until desired lengh. Bind off losely in working the pattern.

*** TIP: I always use a bigger size needle to make sure my B.O. will be lose enough. One or two size above the size used in the pattern works pretty well. Here, for example, I used size 11US because I tend to knit tight.

 

I am not half done yet but hope to finish it by the end of the year... he he he

 

HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR to all!!!

Baby Cole's Bassinet Blanket

 

Here is the Bassinet Blanket I am making for Baby Cole. It is not completely done yet but here is how it goes:

 

Using worsted weight yarn, color white and needles #9US, C.O. 119 stitches and Knit 10 rows in garter Stitch (=5 ridges on RS and 4 on WS) Then, Knit across. Next row and every WS row: K7, *P15, K15*, repeat 2 times more and P15, K7.

 

Every RS row: Knit across. Repeat those 2 rows for 23 rows (=11 ridges of Garter Stitch on RS and WS) That gives 7 squares (4 in Stockinette st. and 3 in Garter st.) Next 3 rows: Knit across on RS.

Next row and every WS row: K7, *K15, P15*, repeat 2 times more and K15, K7.

Every RS row: Knit across.

Repeat for 23 rows (=11 ridges of Garter Stitch on RS and WS) = 7 squares (4 in Garter st. and 3 in Stockinette st. this time)

Keep alternating that way until you get 9 designs of squares or until desired lengh. Then, end in Knitting 9 rows in Garter stitch = 5 ridges on RS and 4 ridges on WS.

Bind off loosely in Knitting.

That blanket can be made square shaped (30X30 inches) or rectangular (30X37 inches)

I like to use a pounder of yarn so there is no yarn interruption in the blanket.

My To-Do list

I just found out that I have to knit a Birth gift. We just received the Birth Announcement yesterday in the mail... I am not sure what I am going to make yet but I think about a Layette set. I happen to have the perfect yarn! :) Second "emergency", a Hat for my DH... He asked me for a Black Warm Hat... OK, I'd better get away from that computer and return to my needles if I want all that to be done on time! HAPPY KNITTING EVERYONE!!!

A Recipe for the Holidays

Peanut Butter Bonbons

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy Peanut Butter

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp. melted butter

1 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Candy Coating

Cream together the peanut butter, powdered sugar and melted butter. Then, thoroughly mix in the cereal. Shape/roll into small balls. Melt chocolate candy coating in the microwave or double boiler. Coat peanut butter balls with chocolate and set on waxed paper to harden. Store covered at room temperature. (These also freeze well) 

Using white chocolate or vanilla candy coating are other options but personally I prefer dark chocolate... Let me know if you like them!
