Here's a scarf with matching beret that I made for my grandson (my daughter's son) Dominque. He played football for the past 2 years for the Baldwin Hills Bruins, and these are the team colors - the same as UCLA teams. By the way - he's a very good football player, and I love watching him play.

A basic picture of the scarf.

Close up of the scarf. I wanted to make a striped pattern, and this is what I came up with. Just off the top of my head and for some reason I like the brick pattern, I've made many scarves and headwear in this pattern.

Dominique modeling the ensemble in the next few picures where he's looking kind of serious. I think that's part of his new persona since he's 12 years old now he wants to be treated more "manly"...and I do quote him!!!

The Saga Continues, LOL

This is a scarf and beret that I made for my daughter. During the Labor Day Holiday I found out that her favorite color is crimson, cranberry, maroon or blood red. Whatever you want to call it. I had made a beret and scarf for my brother Maurice, but he doesn't like caps because they make him itch. I didn't think to mention that it wasn't made of wool. Anyway...my daughter kind of jumped right and said, "I'll take it, it's my favorite color". So...I had to make another scarf so that she'd have the matching ensemble. If you new my family you'd spoil them, too.




In the process of taking pictures of the scarf and beret I asked my daughter's daughter (my dear one and only grand daughter) to model the garments for me. She was more than happy to oblige. She's quite the model, too.

Aren't these beautiful?

While looking in knitting books for different patterns, textures and new ideas. textures - this book fit the bill. Here are just 2 of the particular sweaters that I like. What color(s) do you think would work best? Of course I already have have yarn in all the basic colors,but I want a dazzling color, even though I think the design would make any color dazzle,and I need an excuse to buy more yarn. So, please let me know what color(s) you think these two designs would look best in?
