Drops Scarf Knit Pattern

Simple pattern for even beginner knitters. It wouldn't be your very first project but could be when you are ready to learn about dropping yarn overs. It is that easy.
Drops Scarf knit pattern is a wonderful way to put together novelty yarn you have sitting around along with other yarn, one you might not have considered pairing with it previously. For example, you can pair a mohair yarn with a flag novelty yarn. I have worked this project with many different types of yarn pairings. For this project, I paired Pima cotton with Trellis, a lacy ribbon yarn.
Below is a photo of the beginning of the latest project with this pattern. The name "Drops" comes from dropping the yarn overs and the way the yarn is dropping down, like streaming rain drops.
Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Or you can find me on Ravelry, my handle is AstroGirlBunny.

Mount St Helens Memory

“Hell no, I won’t go!” is all I could think of as she blew her top, sending the mushroom cloud of ash and gases over 15 miles high into the atmosphere and 40 miles wide. Harry R. Truman was on everyone’s mind on May 18 th , 1980, when Mount St. Helen erupted. Our local legend and folk hero refused to leave his home, Mount St. Helens Lodge. He chanted that phrase repeatedly to the media and anyone who would listen. Harry was beloved by not only his friends and family, but by the entire Pacific Northwest. Before his death, he was already a celebrity and caused a media flurry. He attracted the attention of National Geographic, United Press International, and The Today Show. He appeared on the front pages of The San Francisco Examiner and The New York Times. Many other major magazines did profiles on him such as Newsweek, Life, Time, Field & Stream and Reader’s Digest. They continued to pay tribute to him after his death. Oscar-winning actor, Art Carney, portrayed Harry Truman in t...

Goodbye, Best Friend

  I lost my best friend on March 30 th , this past Tuesday. She was fourteen years old and literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Her friendship was invaluable. Her soul changed my life forever. I love her so much and already miss her.  Today, I created art that represented who she was. Wise, non-harming, intelligent, loving, devoted, and so much more.  Thank you, Lilly, for being an amazing friend and honoring me with your love and kindness.
