Hello blog friends, I have been working on the men's knit scarf a little bit each day and I have made some progress on it and I'd love to show you. I decided to add grey yarn to the scarf as I think the scarf needed a little bit of contrast. To see the beginning of my work on the knit scarf you can see it here.
The grey yarn that I am using is Great Canadian by Bouquet and the yarn is made in Canada. My mom gave me this yarn to use a while ago and I'm using it now for the scarf. I love afternoon coffee to keep me going through the day and I love using my Dunkin' Donuts mug!
I plan on making the scarf at least 60 to 65 inches long and I'm hoping I will have enough yarn to work with.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.

I figure if I work a little bit each day on the scarf then it won't be so overwhelming for me. I really like the way that the scarf is coming out and I'm using the grey yarn to make a stripe effect. I learned how to use a circular knitting needle from watching some YouTube videos and I find it a little bit easier with holding the needles. I find the YouTube videos very helpful and I even learned how to add different colored yarn by watching them and how to weave in your ends of yarn.

Hi everyone! This men's knit scarf is my current project that I was commissioned to make for our annual Christmas Fair which is held every fall at our church. I'm on a knitting kick right now and I'm giving crocheting a break for a while it seems. The yarn I'm using is from my own stash and it's Red Heart Classic in the color 365 Coffee. I'm using a circular knitting needle, size 8 US and I casted on 25 stitches. I will be making this scarf in the knit stitch and I have not decided yet if I want to add any contrasting colored yarn to the scarf.
I also started reading the book The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I saw the movie about 2 weeks ago and I loved it but cried throughout the whole movie because it was so sad. My daughter had to read this book for school and so she kept urging me to read it and I'm glad I am.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.

The book and the knitting will keep me busy for a while on these long winter nights.
