Last Minute Knitted Scarf

One of my 101 in 1001 goals is to knit myself five scarves. Now that I have all my supplies for the Chevron Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, I'll be starting my first of five this weekend.

Envy

My Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in their newest color, Envy finally came in today! I'm so excited! I have two extra skeins to knit up some socks for myself.

I'll be combining the Envy with some of the Lakeview colorway. It will be beautiful!

AND THE WINNER IS...

I'm making the Chevron Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts and yesterday I asked for everyone's advice on what colors to use.

Originally I was going to use Child's Play as one of the colors but darn Amanda and Meg suggested that I use Envy and Lakeview instead and save my two skeins of Child's Play for something different.

I was easily swayed by these two ladies and now four skeins of Envy and two skeins of Lakeview are on their way to my yarn stash from Two Swan's Yarn.

Ermmmm, yes I only need two skeins of each of these colors to make my scarf but I AM IN LOVE with the Envy colorway and had to have two more of that yarn to make socks or something else. I NEED MY ENVY!

Thank you to everyone who voted! I love knitting by committee.

Chevron Scarf Making

I'm making the Chevron Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts and I need everyone's advice.

I selected my first color by diving into my stash and picking up two skeins of Lorna's Laces in Child's Play that I purchased long ago while on a trip to Washington D.C.

Which leads me to the tricky selection of the second color and where I need your advice! Leave me a comment telling me which two colors you think I should use in my Chevron Scarf. Remember one of them has to be Child's Play.
