#DIW2 ends today
It’s been a fun journey, but today is officially the last day of Design Improv Workshop 2 (#DIW2). Of course that doesn’t mean you can’t finish your scarf, or even start one if you haven’t already! If you made a scarf, please be sure to post your pictures on the Pinterest board. If you’re just following along to see all the pretty scarves, check out the Pinterest board – you won’t be disappointed! Here’s mine. I ended up making it an infinity scarf. I had originally intended to make 4 repeats (2 in each direction) for a regular scarf, but after the first 2 I realized I didn’t have enough yarn…

#DIW2 – Last section….or is it?
How are you coming along with your DIW2 mystery CAL blog hop scarf? I’m still a couple of sections behind, but plan to catch up tonight. Here are sections 7 & 8 on my scarf:If you do finish section 10, remember NOT to start your repeats yet until you hear tomorrow’s special announcement. Don’t worry about finishing on time, we’ll be going through May 15th to finish the scarves, so there’s still plenty of time! All I can tell you right now about the surprise is that it will be an activity, happening on the Ravelry group only, and there may even be a prize for participating. Check the group tomorrow morning (Chicago time)…

#DIW2 – Halfway done!
We’ve just finished section 6 of the DIW2 mystery CAL blog hop scarf, so we’re actually a little more than halfway done. Don’t worry though, it’s easy to catch up! each section is only 5 rows, and there will be a little catching up time coming soon. This has been so much fun to do – it’s exciting to see the new section every couple of days. Here’s my scarf so far: If you’re participating in this CAL, be sure to keep an eye on the Ravelry group. There just MAY be a secret, surprise, bonus activity there starting on the 23rd….. The following are affiliate advertisements. If you click the ad and…

Section 2 will be posted by Mistie Bush of American Crochet on 4/3/15. I will update this link once her post is available. Remember, there are purposely no recommendations as to yarn and/or hook.

#DIW2 – My yarn choice
I’ve finally decided which yarn I want to use for the Design Improv Workshop #2 scarf (#DIW2). Here it is – this lovely skein of Madelinetosh Merino Light. This has been one of the nicer skein in my stash for almost a year now. It’s extra special because it’s a souvenir from my visit to Churchmouse Yarns and Teas near Seattle. I keep thinking of using it, but then no project quite seems worthy. I think it has just been waiting for this one. The Moorland colorway is such a beautiful, mottled shade of green, which is my favorite color. It will be perfect for a light, spring scarf. I had concerns about…

#DIW2 – Mystery CAL blog hop scarf
Here it is! the big news I’ve been hinting at! Some of you may remember the first Design Improv Workshop from back in October, where a bunch of designer friends and I got together to create an impromptu pattern. That was SO much fun that we just had to do it again. This time though, we’re going to make it a lot more exciting, and we hope you will all join in. Instead of putting the pattern together by ourselves, we’re going to make it a mystery CAL blog hop! I will kick things off with a post on April 1st (no joke), with the first few rows of a scarf pattern. After that, another designer…
