Matthew knit a couple of scarves for his sister.
The Linen Stitch Scarf (see our pattern).
Ray knit this ruffled scarf (yarn and pattern from Shibui), and Tami was kind enough to model the scarf for the website.
Melissa knit a variation of the Great Excuse Scarf using worsted weight wool and reducing the number of stitches and rows.
Matthew knit this scarf for his niece, Haley, who just loved it! The scarf is knit with an interesting technique: the edge of the ribbon yarn is pierced by the needle, so only the edge of the ribbon is pulled through to form each stitch, leaving the rest of the ribbon to wave and scallop.
Kate knit this scarf in a traditional lace pattern (called either Feather & Fan or Old Shale); the pictures at the left show the scarf prior to being blocked, and the pictures at the right show it after. The rules show how much the scarf grew, from quite a bit shy of one yard long to quite a bit longer than one yard.
Kate knit this scarf for her future son-in-law, using shadow knitting to hide Tux the Linux Penguin into the ends of the scarf.
Matthew knit this scarf to thank a colleague who covered two of his classes for a week.
Matthew knit this scarf in "Lemming Stitch" (more traditionally called linen stitch or half woven stitch) for a colleague.
Kara knit this gorgeous scarf for her cousin using one skein of Aurora, one of the new Noro yarns, and one skein of Baby Cashmerino from Debbie Bliss for the black accent on the edges.
Matthew knit this multidirectional diagonal scarf from Kujaku.
Diane knit a wonderful double-wrap scarf with Koigu!
Matthew designed a multidirectional lace scarf for Sharon's birthday, inspired by the Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf Pattern, written by karen Baumer.
Nikki knit this Bollicina Cashmere & Silk scarf out of yarn she dyed herself. The colors were inspired by one of our glorious midwestern sunsets.
Tina B is so eager to have her new scarf that she is wearing it while finishing up the knitting.
Anna-Maria knit this self-knotting scarf for her Mum.
Anna-Maria knit this wonderful scarf from Lou-Lou and Cascade 220.
Matthew knit this hat and scarf out of Noro's Cash-Iroha yarn (a cashmere, silk, and wool blend). The vine lace pattern is easier than it looks (only two pattern rows, that are the same pattern shifted over one stitch), and of course it's purple!
Matthew knit this hat and scarf for Robert using pure wool yarn from Wool in the Woods. The scarf is a multidirectional scarf, and the hat is the spiral pattern designed by our own Nancy Delcomyn.
Nancy knit this ingenious scarf in plain (garter or stockinette?) with very few stitches per row, then unraveled the stitches at the beginning and end in lieu of binding them off. Unraveling the stitches all the way back to the cast-on creates all the curly loops on the edges.
Matthew knit this scarf from Melange by Cherry Tree Hill yarns. At one point in time, Cherry Tree Hill discontinued this yarn. Fortunately, they brought it back! This is a great yarn, and one skein makes a fabulous scarf!
It's cold work guarding Kate's house, so the gargoyle and the saint get scarves and hats! Clearly Kate is thoughtful, but what was she thinking?
Kate designed this men's scarf pattern (Designs from Dove Cottage), for Zara, a wonderful merino yarn.
Chris, who founded the Knitting Illini, knit this wonderful scarf out of a yarn called Fusion from Cherry Tree Hill.
Matthew knit this scarf for his dear sister out of Cherry Tree Hill Yarns Cashmere in the Java colorway.
