Sparkling Blue Snood, Slytherin Scarf and Autumn Wreath

On the way to Arcadia I got to work on a snood for a Youtube fan. I'm about half done.

I also finished the Autumn Wreath with fresh roses. We got the roses at Trader Joe's and they were perfect. I also used the greenery and some sprays of yellow flowers from that bouquet to make the wreath look more posh.

The wreath before I added the fresh flowers.

I started my Slytherin scarf on the way to Arcadia, but it was just too hard to follow the double knitting pattern sequence while being jostled around in the car. It is already dark out so I'll have to get photos tomorrow.

Next I want to make a fox hood/cowl.

Reversible Scarf

I was determined to learn double knitting so I ordered the right sized circular needle from Ebay and followed the directions in 'Greetings From Knit Cafe' for a scarf called 'Recycled Scarf.' I made up a sample of it last night, but I made a few mistakes. So I'm going to rip that part out and start fresh with a better idea of what I'm doing.

Boho Granny Square Handbag

Yesterday at Fanciwerks I started a boho granny square purse in autumn colors. I really like this yarn she has called Classic Shades by Universal Yarn. It's the first time I've used it and I'm in love with it. It's 70% acrylic, 30% wool. The variegated portion of the granny square is made of this. It changes from orange to gold to beige to red. It comes in lots of different colorways. The only downside is it is over $8 a skein.

The first two rounds of the granny square.

One of six granny squares I need for the handbag.

There was also a braided scarf I saw at Fanciwerks that I want to figure out how to make. It's 3 strands of 2x2 ribbing about 4" wide all braided together to form a scarf. Neat.
