The Crafty Bits: Garter Stitch Scarves (F)

I've been teasing you for months with talk of super-secret crafting of the non-sharable giftable variety and now the time has come to share, share, share. Though I was sneaky and did get one post in about a garter knit scarf, if you recall Lilly did me the favor of using her very best Doris Day to model it for us.

That one went to Sharon and since that fateful post in August I knit two more...

...one in Swish Bulky's Verdant Heather for my sister in law Robyn and...

...one in Tidepool Heather for my sister in law Becki.
(I may not be the most inspired gift giver.)

They're all wonderfully soft and fun and so incredibly easy that it's not even funny. The pattern came from Kris Percival's book Speed Knitting: 24 Quick and Easy Projects which, for a new-ish knitter cannot be a better buy. There's a fabulous range of usable/giftable projects that work up super fast. There isn't much for an intermediate knitter, but if you're short on time or just trying to get a few projects under your belt before you move onto more difficult fare, this would be a good place to start. Experienced knitters, my not be as challenged as they'd like, but when you need a good quick project this wouldn't be a bad place to start.
