a little bit of red

Red is color that is bold and sexy and a sign of good luck. Occasionally, I wear red to try to liven up my mostly black wardrobe. Last week, I found this in a basket of UFO's. It was started it a while back when I wanted to knit something out of Scarf Style. Then I realized, that even though I like red, and it goes well with black, I'll probably never wear a ruffled scarf. It's just, well, I'm not a very ruffly kind of person. But I know someone/something that is...
mandy
mandy's ruffle
Pattern: Ruffles fron Scarf Style
Yarn: Knit Picks Merino Style in Holly Berry - 1 skein
Needles: US 7
Pattern Notes: After knitting 1 skein of yarn in the pattern, I realized it would be something I would never wear. Ends are sewn together to make a lovely ruffly dog collar.

And as we're still in the midst of a Project Spectrum, here's some more red...

Geranium

and even though this isn't red, it's fruit will be...

Tha scarf does make a dressy dog collar. Trellis is a beautiful pattern too.

That might be the start of a trend!

The stitch definition is great.

I've never seen a better picture of a tomato blooming! Your pictures are great, and I love the one with Mandy. What a photogenic dog she is, and she's real cute with her new collar. Great idea. I could/would never wear raffled anything either.
