Tag Archives: Yarned by You

So the doctor told me that I needed to keep my shingles rash (which is on my neck) covered up. He recommended I wear a turtleneck. I don’t own any turtlenecks. So I’ve been keeping it covered with an unattractive bandage and tape combo. What better to cover up your neck with than a cowl, though? (Teenagers, take note! Cowls are a fashionable alternative to a turtleneck when covering up hickies.) Unfortunately I’ve really felt too tired to even pick up the needles. So instead, I hunted through some cowls that you’ve made using Juniper Moon Farm yarn.

I think ideally I’d make myself a cowl out of Herriot, as it’s so soft it would be like being wrapped in a hug all day. HandmadebyKoren made this lovely Lattice Cowl, designed by Caroline Fryar and available for free on our Free Patterns page

A little more ambitious, ShayneDKnits knitted the Pentucket Cowl, designed by Alison Green for our new Herriot Heather’s pattern line. Although I love the original, this is a great alternate color combo!

The Terra cowl, designed by Marie Grace for  last winter’s Marlowe line looks fantastic knit up by Tagati.

Of course a bulky cowl will work up very quickly and this Blue Streak knit by brendajosephson in Willa is no exception!

Or what about this love Twist Your Neck Warmer worked up using just one hank of Chadwick? Adorable and warm, not doubt! Hildemy did a great job.

Karen430 knit this great cowl out of Findley Dappled – Minerva cowl. That would look very elegant!

The Uki cowl is another great free pattern that we offer. It’s knit up in Sabine and uses drop stitches, which create fabric quickly! kmoffer knit this one, using exactly one hank of Sabine.

And Moonshine is a wonderful yarn that would make a fantastic cowl. Siercia knocked herself out with this Lava Flow cowl, modeled by her daughter.

And tattooedcat knit this awesome Amalthea cowl, which Ruth Garcia-Alcantud designed for us for this past spring’s moonshine yarn line.

There are a lot of options out there for making a scarf. A LOT. I’ve chosen a few scarves that might make a good option for knitting a Red Scarf Project scarf. All of these scarves are free and available online; I tried to make it easy for you to get started on your scarf, since time is ticking! Click on the picture to be taken to the project page with more details.

A simple stockinette scarf with just a touch of eyelets would work up very quickly, especially in Yearling! Cantaloop was knitted by ssewchic.

indigolarkspur crocheted this great scarf called Ingrid Scarf. I like how the cream pops against the main color. And I love how Herriot gave a lovely drape to this scarf. Great pairing!

Rivulet scarf is a fantastic scarf because there’s no “right” side. Either side is perfectly attractive, which is important where scarves are concerned! Poodlegirl knit this one using Sabine.

I love how the hat matches this scarf knit by lindaugi! She paired this slip-stitch pattern with our Chadwick. I bet that it’s incredibly warm and lovely to wear next-to-skin.

Here are a couple of patterns that weren’t done in red yarn, but that I thought that this Claudia scarf which was crocheted, again, by indigolarkspur, would look great in the Mulberry colorway of Findley, since it loos so good in Serendipity.

MZPurple paired Sabine with this Wheat pattern. I love the flecks of cotton that give Sabine it’s tweedy texture and it seems very fitting in this scarf.

WoolyHeaded was one of the almost 60 people that worked up scarves in 2010 with JMF worsted weight farm yarn. She used the popular “Noro Striped Scarf” pattern. I LOVE the red on red look. What a fantastic way to use the yarn.

Here’s what the final haul looked like last time:

Obviously we aren’t collecting ourselves this time, but I’d like to imagine a great pile of scarves from JMF folks arriving at Foster Care to Success headquarters! What pattern would you use?

I had a lot of fun looking through what you’ve made this week. It’s really getting to where it’s overwhelming to pick projects because there are just too many good ones!

I really like HestiaKnit’s The Fire and Ice Shawl. I’ve been looking at a lot of lacy patterns lately, and this one is definitely lovely! It was knit in one of my favorite shades of Findley – Garnet!

TigerPurrrrrl’s Diggory Cardie is made in Sabine using color 02. I love the shawl collar and the eyelet pattern on the sleeves; fun details in an otherwise basic sweater!

This Super Slouchy Hat was crocheted by minuetcrochetknit as a shop sample in Moonshine #13 June Bug. Both the adult and child hat were made out of one hank of yarn! (Who keeps saying that crochet uses so much more yarn than knitting?)

Malena posted about her All the Stops dress in our Ravelry group, and I couldn’t help but share it here as well. Isn’t it lovely? She used Findley Dappled in 104 Frog’s Back and made a length modification. The fit is really great, don’t you think?

Another crochet project (I love to be able to share them!), this time in Herriot 01. indigolarkspur raves about how soft Herriot is, and I have to say that I know JUST how she feels!

Amari is one of our most popular free patterns. This one was knit by pam0908 in Sabine’s Fettuccine. I keep meaning to make one for myself, but my queue grows ever longer!

I really love this Another Way shawl! Melissap did a wonderful job. She used Moonshine in Dew, Popsicle, Seaside, Swimming Pool and Conch Shell.

I had a lot of fun looking through new Raverly projects with JMF yarns for this week’s Yarned by You. In fact, I found so many great things, I could have posted for next week, too! But I restrained myself and instead focused on trying to give a good balance of summer projects, because even though it’s delightful now in New England, I’m betting it’s hot as hades in other parts of the States.

A reminder that to learn more about the project, pattern, and yarn used, you should click the picture to be taken to the maker’s Ravelry project page.

This great sweater is crocheted in Findley (12 Bloom) by akforty7. It’s called FrouFrou and it has an awesome pineapple edging, not seen in this picture.

These start stitch arm warmers are also crocheted, but this time AKFrog used Moonshine in #10 Cotton Candy. These arm warmers have been in my favorites for forever! I just love this stitch pattern.

Pull Me Over is also another one of my favorites! feltfickled knitted it in Sabine – 17 Poppy.  The ribbing is great for a bit of curve-hugging negative ease!

grumpygirl73 did a beautiful job on this Iberian Discovery. I love the colors of Moonshine she put together – 07 Camp Fire, 12 Rope Swing, 05 Sand Dune. There are bonus kitty pictures on her project page!

I love this darling set in Yearling designed for us by Pam Wynne. It’s Robin cardigan, Chunky booties, and Puffs hat. gidigirl knit it using #9 Blue, Blue Sky and #10 Leafy. It’s such a cheery set!

I adore this Fishtail Lace Slouchy Hat that hillvintage knit, don’t you? It’s made from Sabine in #18 Clementine.

And the final Yarned by You spot has to go to tanekagirl’s Grania. She knit it in Findley #1 Fresco. Isn’t it just stunning? It has crystal beads, which are unfortunately difficult to see in this photo.

That’s it for this week! Do you have a hankering to see anything in particular for next week?
