  Chain Accessories The chain needs an image makeover. For too long it's had negative associations linked to it: chain smoker; chain gang; chain of fools; ball and chain... Luckily stars like Marion Cotillard , Emma Stone and Ashley Tisdale are purveyors  of style when it comes to chains. They are carrying chain-strap bags, wearing chain-link belts and adding some style to their heels with chain detailing. It's doubtful we need to convince you that you should add a few chain accessories to your wardrobe; but just in case, here are 2 tempting treats that'll have you thinking nothing but the best about chains.  All available at http://felicesereno.com

This is a really effective stitch that really has only one row of pattern! I made it using a soft merino yarn in a lovely orange color. I haven't finished it yet but i thought I'd share the stitch with you. I uses 4mm needles but gauge here is not really important. You need to have a multiple of 18 stitches plus 8 - 4  extra on each side I cast on 44 stitches. Abbreviations: K - knit P - purl YO - yarn over K2tog - Knit two together Lets GO! knit 4 rows  in garter stitch. thats the edge - also the last 4 rows, when you have knitted the scarf as long as you like, will also be in garter stitch Lace Pattern: Row 1: K Row 2: K 4, P to last 4 sts, K4. REMEMBER 1st and last 4 sts are ALWAYS in K Row 3: K4 (as always!!) *K2 tog (3 times) YO, K1( 6 times), K2 tog (3 times)*  repeat from * to * till last 4 sts - K4 Row 4: K. That is the pattern!! Easy huh!!! knit as along as you like and end with 4 rows in garter stitch!!

It's a supplier in Turkey, who ships in just a few days. the price of yarn is UNBELIEVABLE and although the shipping may seem like a lot, if you factor in the whole cost the yarn is still at an amazing cost for the quality. They ship DHL - I got my last order in 4 days! Take a look HERE and let me know what you think!
