Been Busy Knitting Here At ICanKnitThat

I wanted to let everyone know that I have been busy knitting and wanted to share a few things I have finished up.

First of all, my daughter Meghan has been wanting something knitted out of mohair and she picked out the beautiful yarn while I was visiting her in Nashville.  I knitted a very basic cowl for her and now that I have finished it I told her never again.  I have to admit that I did not enjoy knitting with mohair and it will not be a fiber I pick out in the future.  Anyway, here is a picture of it (be kind...you know plain stockinette is hard to make look good in a pic, especially a cowl).

Of course I had to make my weekly trip to Loopville to see what was new I heard about a neat pattern called Cantaloop by Shelley Branter which is also a free download on Ravelry.  I picked up a couple of skeins of Sprout in Natural and Galapagos Green so that I can knit two of the scarves.  Here is the green one in process.  I will share the finished project soon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then while searching Ravelry for a new pattern to knit a scarf in I found The Potato Chip Scarf pattern by Barbara Aguair.  It is such a great pattern and I highly recommend it.  I knew that my daughter Caitlin would love the ruffles and it was her suggestion to stitch it together so that she could wear it as a cowl.

Barbara agreed to let me share the pattern so here it is:
