Between yesterday and today I actually finished several tatting projects, and knitted a scarf. The bookmark was a gift for my brother. I love that he picked the brightest yellow thread in my collection for the color! Normally I do not use very bright shades, or yellow, but I got the thread on sale thinking that it could make pretty aspen leaves. Many of the trees have turned this exact shade of yellow right now. Working with such a bright color was refreshing.
The Sine Wave bookmark pattern was from Jeff Hamilton.

The fall weather was so beautiful today that I took my knitting to a local park and worked on this scarf after a long walk.The scarf is a drop stitch pattern, and I made it from a ribbon yarn and a mohair blend that I found in one of my yarn boxes.  The yarn colors matched the color of the rocks in the park, and the autumn leaves.

Here is my pattern for the scarf:

Ute Valley Park Scarf

Size 15 needles
1 ball Bollicine Etoile color #553 (70% kid Mohair, 30% acrylic) 50 gr.=150 meters2 balls Queensland Collection Invito color #2 (50% cotton, 50% nylon) 50 gr.=130 meters

Hold both yarns together throughout.

Cast on 14 stitches

Rows 1-4: Knit
Row 5: Knit by wrapping the yarn twice around the needle before pulling through each stitch. At the end of this row it will look like you have 28 stitches, instead of 14.
Row 6: Knit one stitch, then drop the next loop off the left needle instead of knitting it. This will cause the stitch to grow longer. At the end of this row you should have 14 stitches again.
Row 7: Knit
Row 8: Knit

Repeat rows 5 to 8 until the scarf is long enough, then knit two more rows and bind off loosely.
