Sometimes I just really love the simplicity of garter stitch. I’m a huge fan of EZ and I think some of the most beautiful garments of hers are out of garter stitch. I think I have at least an arms length worth of just garter stitch EZ items I want to make.
This year my knitting group is knitting for men at a homeless sheler.
I pulled out three balls from my stash when I made the Einstein coat (another garter stitch production) and just grabbed some big needles and casted on. Before I knew it two were done and then I switched to the Red Scarf Project.
My friend Bev gave me this yarn and I’m just hoping this is random color design is cool enough for a young person. We’ll see when I get it done.

Looks like I better get knitting - I only have one scarf done!

I have made several scarves that practically asked for garter stitch. Even though simple, they can be very pretty.
