Yarn supplies, fabric and more

For a while i was a reseller for Ice yarns, and all seemed to be going very well.. until a while ago where my client ordered some yarn DHL and it was shipped regular mail. the problem was, on the island she lives and to the address she wanted it received, she can only receive DHL. Well ice yarns refused to either resend or refund her money. That's not very good customer service - so I no longer represent them. My yarn is now on sale at http://louiseknits.com

Super easy beginners scarf!

I found out that this type of scarf is called a BAKTUS SCARF Its really easy - all the rows are knit You have some short rows and that's about it! You will need - 100gms or about 420 yards of 4 ply or sock weight yarn # 5 US needles (3.74 mm) Fine yarn works the best but you can use up to double knitting or worsted weight. If you use the thicker yarn I would also use larger needles - go up by one size at least Abbreviations. YO : yarn over, ssk: slip one stitch, knit one stitch, pass slipped stitch over K: knit Instructions: Cast on 10 sts Row 1. Knit Row 2. (short row) Knit 7,  put yarn in front of needle, slip one, turn, knit 8, turn Row 3 knit Row 4 Knit Row 5 - like row 2 Row 6: k 8, YO, knit till end.
