Forever Christmas

It's been a while... i know i've broken my promise of keeping up with this blog. I'm sorry to those few people who actually read this.
I've been keeping busy with my Knitting Club and also making Christmas presents for family.

This is a forever scarf but
not the pattern listed below.
Right now is crunch time for Christmas shoppers. If you need something quick but still has a homemade touch. i suggest making a Forever Scarf. Its very easy to do and can be done in just a few hours.
Start off with a set of Size 35 knitting needles. These suckers are huge! you can find them at Michaels or Joann Fabric. It will feel very awkward knitting with these jumbo needles. Kind of like when you write with those jumbo novelty pens.

Grab two skeins of your favorite yarn. I used a chunky yarn. the bigger the needs and the bigger the yarn, the faster the scarf will be done.
Cast on 10 to 20 stitches, depending on how wide you want the scarf, then Garter Stitch (knit every row) until you have reached the desired length. I ended up using both skeins and was able to comfortable wrap the scarf around my neck twice.

Leave a little yarn so you can use it to sew the two ends together to create the Forever Scarf.
Quick, easy and the gift-ee will love the gift-er who made it.
