Love this scarf

A fellow blogger inspired me to make this scarf which I finished this morning.

This one is done in 8ply acrylic with a 4.50mm hook and measures 55 inches by just on 4 inches.

I love the texture and am already planning on making another one but will use Bendigo Woolen Mills 'Luxury' 8ply wool in burgundy, grey and off white. I might go up a hook size as this wool works up thick and I want to keep the scarf soft.

Would you believe that one of my rose bushes is still flowering? I can't remember when it didn't have roses on it and am wondering how much longer I'll be enjoying these gorgeous blooms.

Have a nice day/evening, wherever you are.

  1. Oh, that is a lovely scarf. I can't wait to see it made up in the colors you mentioned. It will be lovely. I love burgundy with any combination.

  2. Which fellow blogger turned you on to that design? I made it in red and white, but the colors you used were what the pattern maker used and I really like yours, it's very classy. Enjoy your roses!! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
