Knitted Scarf in the Works

This is the scarf I started in the car on my way to Hilton Head for Girls Week.  We were busy enough, think I only worked on it once while we were actually there, but then again knitted in the car on the way home.  Love these colors.  You might remember I made an afghan (Blue Horizon) with these colors some time back with this lovely donated yarn.  Yikes, much longer ago than I remembered.  Take a look at the link, it was a work in progress at that point ....almost finished.  It has some texture, as I used garter stitch for the blue areas and stockinette for the rust/brown areas.  This photo is several days old and so the primary blue section in the middle is done.  Thus am past the middle point and soon to add the lighter blue to work my way down the last 6 sections of color changes.

The personal care items came back from Ireland and Scotland with me from the hotel rooms.

Next, I'll tackle an afghan I laid aside, needing black.  You might have read a few posts ago.  Nikki donated some yarn and among her donation was black....yippee.  So, I'll get that ghan done next.

What are you working on?  Do you knit or crochet in the car or on a plane?

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
