I also created some "Ribbon Scarfs". I am really excited about them because it is a new stitch I have never done. You can wear it in different ways, either straight down or tied so that it looks like a collar with a suit.
I am knitting my heart out because I have a Trunk Show coming up on Saturday, October 27, 2007 in Roanoke, VA at Beads Indeed. I am very excited about this. I met the owner last year while I was at a conference. She saw the purse that I was carrying and said that she would be interested in me doing a show. We have stayed in contact and she asked me to come this fall and showcase my purses and scarfs. So for right now I am knitting my little fingers off. I want to create 20 pieces and be able to take orders for those that I may have sold and that people still want. I praise God daily for the gift that he has given me and that he has enabled me to share my talent with others.
Well here goes, ENJOY!
This is a Black and White Shawl that I made out of Fun Fur. It has a wonderful feel and is beautiful on. I have included two views, one draped on a chair and a model wearing the shawl.
The next shawl that I made I call "In The Forest". I fell in love with the yarn and when I started knitting it I just could not stop. This is a large rectangle shawl with fringe on it. I put gold beads at the end of the fringe. It feels so good on. You feel as if you are shrouded in love.
The next shawl I made was Red and White. It is made with two yarns, a red yarn and white fun fur.
Now, I am focusing on purses and scarfs. I just finished a black and white purse made with with black wool and white homespun yarn. This really made a wonderful combination. I added a flap to the purse that includes black fun fur. The purse is fully lined with black and white fabric and is reinforced to have firm sides.
I plan to make a whole array of purses of different styles and colors. I plan to let my mind run wild with possibilities.
Last, but certainly not least are my scarfs. These are my "signature scarfs", the "Ribbon Scarfs". I call them my "Ribbon In The Sky". It was a real challenge to master this stitch, but I am proud to say that I did it with God's help. These scarfs are made from a yarn called "Lucky" that I purchased from a shop called Lettuce Knit here in Richmond. I went to shop to look for some unusual yarn, which they are famous for. When I saw a sample of this scarf I feel in LOVE with it. When I asked one of the owners how it was done, she was gracious enough to sit down and teach me right then and there. For that, I will be eternally grateful. When I finished my first one, I looked everywhere in my stash of yarn for ribbon yarn and I found some "Rainbow" colored yarn that I had. Wow, when I finished it I couldn't believe how beautiful it turned on. Well enough of talking about it. Here they are .....
As I said earlier because of the length of the scarf, about 36 inches, you can wear this scarf many different ways. You can wear it just draped around the neck or you can double it and wear it as a collar with a suit. It really looks good with a sleeveless top and a suit. Or you can wear it with a top and a pair of slacks.
Always remember if you like any of these items please feel free to contact me and I will give you a price.

Wow, Cynthia! Too cool. I love the ribbon scarf. Is that the stitch that you pull the loops out as you knit? I love that effect.
