Feeling Stripey

I am venturing into knitting again and because I am feeling impatient and looking for quick results - I picked up Lion Brand Yarn Hometown USA. This is a bulky, easy care yarn that works wonderfully with a pair of size 13 needles. Since we are in the beginning of the holiday season, I chose white and red......so.......guess what pattern I'm doing? You got it - STRIPES! I am knitting a striped candy cane influence scarf. I couldn't resist! So far, I am very happy with how quick this works up. I may even try some granny squares with this and make a big, bulky, comfy afghan!



I picked my yarn up while browsing in Wal-Mart today. Here's a link to Lion Brand if you want to check out the yarn.
