Three scarves, knit for charity (specifically for the scarves for the homeless drive at my church)
Pattern: Multi-directional diagonal scarf. Each scarf is made of short-row polygons with 3 sides (also known as triangles).
Each scarf was made of 3 skeins of Patons Soy Wool Stripes.
Natural Denim:
Natural Plum:
Natural Blue (which has a surprising amount of brown in it):
The yarn is very soft in the skein, and knits up nicely, although it's not quite so soft as garter stitch. The main virtue of this yarn is, I think, that it's inexpensive. It cost wonderfully little money. Unfortunately, the was one drawback: knots. In 9 skeins, there were 7 knots. But for an inexpensive yarn, it's really quite charming - soft, warm, and with much less raw vegetable matter than Lopi.

333, only half as evil.
Love the SS reference there at the end, very classy.
Can you point me towards a pattern for this? I have some sari silk that I want to do this with. Saw the pattern a few years ago and never found it again. Mind you, I'm a total novice who tends to make felted things because felting absolves all sins.
