Yarn – Bernat Jacquards in Jade Jacquard

This scarf started as a project for my daughter’s teacher but, as I was knitting, I realized that this just isn’t her style. Yet, it is lovely and needs a special recipient. Luckily, I’ve had no trouble deciding who this scarf is meant for – it is destined for my sister! So, I am putting it in my gift closet and saving it to give her for Hanukkah.
My earliest holiday knitted gift EVER! Which brings me to my next great idea.
I am committed to not being a crazy knitting person in the time between Halloween and Christmas 2010. Instead, I will be knitting one project a month from June to December to add to the holiday gift giving stash.
What do you think of the first one?
I love it! It is a little shorter than the pattern called for, for two reasons: (1) my sister is on the shorter side; and (2) I really wanted the ends to be the same colors.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! I hope July’s project comes out as well!

very pretty scarf!
Thank you
That scarf is gorgeous. I’m going to see if my local store has that kind of Bernat yarn. Perfect for scarf / hat combo.
Hey,
A I think I would need to pick different colors otherwise it is pretty nice.
Though I would not wear the hat with it!

YAY! I hope they have it and you enjoy the yarn as much as I did. Have fun.
I love that you changed the recipient and occasion – hilarious and totally something I would do too.
The scarf looks very pretty and I’m betting your sister will LOVE it.
