Friday Freebie Scarves for July!

With a zillion and one cotton lace patterns for everything-light-and-airy making the rounds for mid-summer knitting I couldn't resist the urge to sneer at the lazy days of summer and make the observation that in the time it takes (people like me) to knit a shawl or fancy scarf it will be cold enough to start wearing it daily! With that in mind I present the Katydid Drop Everything Scarf from Classic Elite Yarns. This one you could even wait until mid-August to start! It's so simple with the delightful dropped stitch lace effect ("lace knitting" doesn't get any easier than that!) that I'm sure you'll have time to finish several before it starts freezing at nights!




Today's other offering will definitely take time to complete - the Entrelac Scarf from Lion Brand! If you've never tried entrelac before, a scarf is a great first project! There's no gauge or shaping to worry about. It's not as large a time commitment as a shawl or wrap and it lends itself SO well to using up oddballs from your stash - so long as they're the same yarn weight. Entrelac is also great for indy-dyed and self-striping yarns with long color changes too! All you have to focus on is your knitting pattern! Voila! A scarf to impress even yourself!



Isn't it a beauty?
