FO Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!!!  I have three FO's to share with you today.  I finished my Fade to Black Scarf from my free pattern page.  I used all of the same yarn in the pattern except this time I used leftover Black Homespun instead of a worsted weight black.

I also finished the charity Special Olympics scarf I was doing and am proud to say that Langhorne Knitters  have 5 finished scarves to send off and a few more on the way!!!

My last project is my "last minute" mitts.  I wanted something just to either keep in the car for when the steering wheel is cold or to throw in my pockets - not for wearing as fancy and nice...  these take a couple hours and are super easy.  CO 36 sts, k2p2 rib to about 7 inches and BO.  Seam up the sides and leave a thumb opening.  Easy peasy!


My mitts

So there you have it!  Enjoy your weekend and visit Tami for some more FO's!

    Both scarves look great :) I like the simplicity of the fingerless mitts too, perfect for in the car!

    I really love the fade to black scarf. I'll have to eventually do that one. :) And the mitts of course!

    Your scarf came out great. I'm glad you're digging crochet more than you used to.

    Oh I can make those fingerless mitts - thanks for sharing - wonder how long it would take me to make them? Last year I made 25 scarves for the Special Olympics - this year I'm not participating as I burned out on crocheting scarves but am working granny squares and 7x9 squares for warm up America.

    I wish I were wearing that Fade to Black scarf right this second---it looks so, so warm and snuggly, and the colours/pattern are just beautiful. Awesome designing (and making!) on your part.

    I <3 the Special Olympics scarf, too, I should see about making one myself...

    Wow - 25 scarves?! I'm impressed!! The mitts only take a couple of hours or so. Very easy!
