FO: Child’s Feather and Fan Keyhole Scarf

Thanks to Knitty’s tutorial, I finally grafted the two pieces of the Feather & Fan Scarf together!  It ended up being simpler than I thought thanks to their method of holding the pieces back to back instead of laying them flat, one on bottom and one on top (like my knitting books showed).  I apparently grabbed a couple of stitches from the wrong direction, but all in all it looks very nice.

My daughter loves the scarf.  I have to admit, the yarn we dyed is so pretty.  The color changes are subtle and beautiful.  However, she tried it on this morning and said it was itchy.  I love the keyhole feature for keeping the scarf on my little one’s neck.

FO: Pot Holder

I’m pretty proud of this lovely little pot holder from Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts Lacy Crochet.  The pattern was simple, but interesting enough to keep me engaged.  Getting the hang of crocheting the contrasting color parts through the two layers of fabric was a trick, but easy enough once you get the hang of it.  It was a trick to find a contrasting color that I liked in the right size crochet thread, but I’m pleased with the results.
