I Have STARTED! LOL! ;D

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and kind words.

Yes, it's a ribbon yarn (dreamed up by some sadistic yarn designer), lots of tiny threads and holes to get hung up on the hook.

It's called Felicity, by Universal Yarns. This color is named Verdana. The label describes it (wait a second, need my glasses here) as a Bulky (wt, category 5) yarn made up of 72%Polyamide , 14% wool ad 14% acrylic. 50 gm/1.75 oz., 85m/93 yds. Hand wash cool water, lay flat to dry. Recommended hook size L-11 (8mm). 12 sc x 14 rows = 4" BTW I used a Boye I/9 (5.50mm) hook.

Here are a couple more photos taken in sunlight. The colors washed out but, as with crochet, practice makes perfect with the camera. I shall blunder on!

The last photo is of a shawl I started to crochet, winging the pattern as I went along. I used Tahki Captiva, color Silver Coin which looks beige to me. Such a boring color! I'm stuck at this point cuz I only bought one sk of this color to test it out; have aqua & dark grey too. Those two colors don't work with beige. I'm trying to decide if I should use a light lavender and maybe a light blue (if there is one)and a light green, maybe? What do y'all think? Suggestions would be great as I usually pick ombres so I don't have to choose compatible colors.

Okeydokey, enough rambling, On With The Show!

Love the ribbon piece. The shawl would work with browns and greens maybe a blue. I think I would do rows of each color.

Lynn E ramble on . I get like that when anyone ask me about my knitting. And I know they are thinking will she ever shut up about knitting. It makes you happy you talk about it if they dont understand well that is on them . you go girl .

Good job, I call that the double V stitch, but it does have other names. It does make a nice scarf. You are doing a good job, keep it up.

Lynn, both are really pretty, but I'm partial to the ribbon scarf! It is really pretty! You do great work.

I am so LOL with the sadistic yarn designers, LOL I really like that yarn! It does look really interesting, yes, and tedious to work with. On the beige, LOL, I am a color mixer. Somebody tells me to not put them together, guess what?? I PUT them TOGETHER, LOL I wear beige with grey, brown with grey, and on. In my book, the beige would be very versatile and go with anything really.

Landon, you are such a rebel!

[Landon]

Yes, that is me, LOLOL I love to think OUTSIDE the box, LOL

I love the colors in the scarf! I have never worked with that type of yarn but I can see from the photo where it could be difficult to work with. Looks like you're doing well. As for the shawl, I love the beige! If you could keep it all that color, you could use it with almost any outfit. Mixing in other colors might limit what you could wear it with but that's just my opinion.

Lynn, the colors for the scarf are beautiful!! Great job. As for the scarf, if you go with a light lavender, or light blue or light green, then I'd go for an amethyst or royal blue or emerald green to finish it with. Let the colors just blend into one another as it goes from light to dark. Whichever you choose, it will be fantastic!--Jan
