Georgeous Knit Scarves
With cold weather upon us, it's time to update your wardrobe
with a new gorgeous knit scarf. They are a hot item for the
season and what a great looking accessory item to keep you warm.
Look for them in so many different yarns, colors and styles.
This is the year for the knit scarves so put away the old plain
Jane's back in storage. The question is, do you buy one or make
your own.
Personally, I like the hand made one's made by yours truly,
myself. I enjoy having that one of a kind accessory item that
looks great. With the huge selection of beautiful yarns out
there I just had to pick up my knitting needles and dust them
off. They've been non-stop ever since. You can find yarn at all
the local craft store's; AC Moore, Jo-Anne Fabrics, Michael's to
name a few as well as their websites. Some of them will offer
classes, or will have representative's near the yarn aisle to
help you get started and answer any questions. All the top yarn
companies have very informative website's to help you get
started also. They have an amazing selection of free, yes free
patterns that you can print off and use at your disposal. Lion
Brand, http://www.lionbrand.com even has a how to section. I
forgot how to "cast off" and it has step by step instructions
that set me on my way. All the patterns have very clear
instructions on how to knit or crochet and what supplies to
purchase. I have made several myself and found them all very
easy to follow. They even have the famous Martha Stewart Poncho
pattern available online. I wanted one and don't crochet so I
forwarded the pattern to my mother. She so graciously made some
for me. I get endless compliments whenever I wear it. I have now
ventured off making my own patterns. What can I say, I've got
the knitting bug or should I say yarn bug! It's the yarns that
pull you in to buying so much. There really is an amazing
selection out there. You
can find; cashmere, wool, fun fur,
metallics, sequence, curly, fuzzy, you name it they have it. So
pick up those knitting needles and get making those scarves.
You'll get the bug too and will end up making them for everyone
you know!
For those of you who have no interest in making a scarf or just
don't have the knack for it, there is still hope. Many stores
offer a decent selection of knit scarves but you will find a
limited selection in the yarn styles. I recommend attending one
of the many craft fairs being offered in your area. To look for
top quality vendors, look for the juried shows or ones that are
very selective in choosing their vendors. You will definitely
get a higher quality of vendors and therefore a higher quality
of products. There are some very artistic and talented knitters
out there selling their wares. Artistic people not only like to
make great products but really like selling them to others to
enjoy. I get excited when someone buy's one of my scarves and
can't wait to wear it. They always come back for more to buy as
gifts to share their great find. Another place to shop for knit
scarves is at your local art galleries. They consign artist work
and stock plenty of gift items as well as artwork. They will
have a high quality of vendors. But do hurry, the stores
currently are clearing out their winter merchandise for Spring
clothing.
Get a gorgeous knit scarf while you can or get those knitting
needles going and enjoy getting the knitting but!
