clown scarf

well i promised a picture of the scarf i designed with 3 arms for the clown brigade and here it is
what I did was the first row was 1 knit stitch and for the second row i added a knit stitch and for the 3rd row i added a knit stitch at the beginning of the row and so on till i got the triangle for the center i chose to make the triangle 28 stitches

after i had the triangle i picked 3 rib patterns 1 for each arm of the scarf

after completing the rib pattern i reduced to the triangle like at the beginning knitting 2 together at the beginning of each row untill i got down to 1 stitch

then i picked up 28 stitches on the second side of the triangle and proceeded with the second rib pattern following the same procedure as before just with the new rib

and the same for the 3rd side of the triangle.

after the 3 arms were finished and knotted off i made 3 big pom poms for the ends

but a word of advice from my mistake make sure your choice of rib pattern isnt mostly stockinette as it will curl as my 1 arm is.

have fun if you dare, lol

Sunday March 20

Well tomorrow is sunday march 20 and i am looking forward to the Blessing Of The Bikes in Murrysville at my church Murrysville Alliance Church.
we have a pretty big motorcycle ministry there. last year we had over 10,000 bikes and it was great.
eventhough it looks like rain and there is a call for rain in south west pa we should still have a decent turn out, probably not as many as without rain but...

see ya after the blessing
