This month, we are featuring a scarf I designed in Baby Llama Chunky - Lush Life Scarf. I started crocheting again in December since I was unable to knit for a while after elbow surgery. I wanted to create a gift for a neighbor that has been a wonderful friend to my family. I thought a dressy scarf would give her warm and a hug when she needed it - with the added bonus of being in her favorite color.

I like to make hats and scarves for giving.
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf
ReplyDeleteI like to make hats - I give them to schools, the cancer society and the group that helps the homeless. I love Cascade yarns and wish the yarn stores in town hadn't gone out of business.
ReplyDeleteI like to make hats and Cowls to give to my two nieces. I make something for them every Xmas and they love it.

DeleteI love to make baby afghans for all the new babies. I am known as the blanket lady at work.
ReplyDeleteHats. Everyone in New England needs a warm hat, from newborns to 100
ReplyDeleteI make prayer shawls and slippers.
ReplyDeleteI love the do scarves or shawls as gifts hats when requested ☺️
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of hats, but by far, my favorite gifts are things for babies.
ReplyDeleteI knit hats and socks for give aways, as well as fingerless gloves, we live in an area that the winters are cold and fairly long, so these are essentials...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to knit and give away is hats. I make between 5 and 13 dozen hats for a local school districts clothing bank. I try to make them as colorful as possible in an array of sizes. To break things up I knit and weave scarfs. Usually a dozen or spa year.
ReplyDeleteI love giving baby blankets, hats & booties. They are so soft and always appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI knit scarves for the Red Scarf Project and also our local homeless shelter.
ReplyDeleteI just started making baby blankets.
ReplyDeleteScarfs, headbands or ear warmers.
ReplyDeleteI like to crochet baby blankets for giving
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been making hats.
ReplyDeleteI am just learning to knit. But I’m having a lot of fun with it though I still need a little more practice before I make anything worthy of gift giving or wearing out myself even. A true beginner of beginners. When I’m a little more experienced, I’d like to make socks and house slippers for everybody in the family. Perhaps even the dogs since their little feet get so cold in Washington in the winter. Do they make waterproof yarn I wonder for such a project?? That would be awesome but I’m not going to get my hopes up too high on that last one. But curling up on the couch in comfortable clothes and socks to watch tv with my four legged family members is what I live for...sometimes;) Lots of feet to keep warm. I should stay busy for awhile on that project.
ReplyDeleteI like to make all kinds of things. Last year I made & gifted a shawl, 2 ponchos, cowls, hats & a lapghan. Most of these things were given to widows or older single ladies at church.
