Scarves, scarves, scarves!

Well, before I went on vacation, I knit scarves for my cousins. Here is what they looked like:

The first was for my youngest cousin (three years younger). Various red parallelograms knit using intarsia modified for garter stitch. The yarn was part of the stash I acquired so I'm not quite sure what it is. I think mostly wool with whatnot mixed in. I am quite happy with the results and really glad to have been able to find random colors that went well together of more or less the same weight.

The second was a blue scarf for my oldest cousin (two years older). I got the pattern from Beginner's Guide: Knit Stitches & Easy Projects. I made it with a 50-50 acrylic/polyamide blend by Esmeralda, again from the stash I received earlier this summer. You can see on the rolled up bit that it is mini-cabling (the unrolled part is the wrong side, unfortunately). This one seem to take forever to make, but the result was nice, I think.

The last was a multi-colored scarf for my middle cousin, the one who is closest to me in age (one year older). I admit, it was the last one I knit and I didn't have much time, so it's just garter stitch. But to make it more interesting, I knit two strands together to get various combinations of colors. You can see stretches of combined colors between stretches of solid colors. So, even though this was just a fast, last-minute knit, it's perhaps my favorite of the three scarves.

Of course, when I brought these to Korea, it was waaaaay too hot for my cousins to try them on (25 degrees Celcius!). Hopefully, I'll get photos when it gets cooler!
