We had lots of fun and laughter at my demonstration on self-ruffling yarn. This scarf is a quick, one ball project that doesn't require a lot of concentration—except for keeping those 8 or 9 stitches on the needles. We used
Spectra by Universal Yarn for this fun project. Two of my students model their creations.

One of the Diamond Girls, Sue, completed her mitered diamond vest, the project she chose in my
Mitered Diamond Adventure workshop. She added a knitted band along the collar and sleeve edges of her piece. A hook and eye closure completed the look. It turned out fabulous!
