Simple Garden Scarf Project

I thought I would share the simple garden scarf  I have been knitting.  This scarf pattern I designed when I first started again in my 20's and was the 3rd project I knitted, designed in a simple stocking stitch so I could improve my garter stitch and purl stitches.  Reminding me of the garden paths at the garden I used to visit with family members. I decided to start knitting it again to update the photos of this scarf as the other one I gifted to charity. 

Knitted in memory of my family member who I used to go to the garden with and who passed away earlier on this year.

The simple stocking stitch scarf was the first pattern I designed after I learnt how to do purl stitches and after I learnt that stocking stitch would roll up if it didn't have a border.  The scarf was inspired by walks through the Botanical Gardens in Auckland with family members, when I went to visit them and started knitting again sitting out in their garden reminded me of this memory when I was a child. 

What's that stitch - sand stitch

Welcome to what's that stitch series! Come and learn how to do sand stitch. Sand stitch creates a reversible stitch pattern that looks great on both side.  The right side is bit like a rib stitch while the back looks as though there are little stars on every 2nd stitch.  Learn what this stitch is, how to do sand stitch and get few project ideas for using this stitch.
