Back in April, when I went to a local quilt show there was a lady at one of the booths knitting. Of course, my friend and I being knitters had to know what she was doing. It was a really cool looking scarf. She wasn't knitting it out of yarn, it was out of batik quilting fabric. She told us how to do it, and I really wanted to try it. I decided to make them for the ladies at work and for the knitting group gift.
This is the one that I did first. I cut the strips and 1" wide and it was too much. It still came out okay. I loved the colors. It was really ironic that the one that I could picture these colors on was the one that one it. Everyone liked it. 
That gave me a little more courage to do them for the ladies I work with. I made the strips on these only 1/2" wide on the same size needles. It was a little more flexible. I also made them a little more narrow. I forgot to take pictures before I gave them away, but they brought them back and I got 2 out of the 3. This one is black with pinpoint red polka dots on it.
This one is shades of purple. The one I don't have a picture of was ocean colors. Aqua, blue, purple and spots of yellow and orange. I would like to make one for me out of a soft chambray. We shall see. I had to borrow a rotary cutter to do these. I couldn't find mine. Maybe I will find it when I finish my knitting/sewing room????
