Dawn scarf

My attempt to knit a scarf with beautiful dawn colours is not really a success... It is practically impossible to imitate the morning colours with just two yarn colours. But we´ll see how it turns out! At the moment it is rather grey.

This big brother scarf is actually a back to school one. It´s for a god daughter, the plan is to knit a hat, too.

Cowl, seven brothers and silmu, pattern from Hedgehog. Not sure if this is wide enogh, but it´ll strech!

Queen Ann´s Lace, Puro. Nice and quick!

Still Going

I'm not sure if I'll make it to 22 (2x11) before the end of the year, but here's an update on the ongoing scarf/shawl knitting. I chose too many patterns and bought too much new yarn to only do 11! The first is another cowl with Novita 7 Brothers and Silmu, this time longer and with a twist. The second is another Queen Anne's Lace scarf.

Sky Scarf Update

Here's a photo of my sky scarf so far. Just over a month down - I'm aiming for the whole academic year. I'd love to see yours here, Karhu and Flikka!

Beyond Eleven

I seem to have bought yarn for more than 11 projects along the way this year, so I'm going to keep going until Christmas with the shawl/scarf theme. A long cowl counts, right? I made this one last weekend out of Novita 7 Brothers and Novita Silmu with a 5mm needle. I cast on 180 stitches. This was so fun and easy, I think I'm going to make two more!

I also finished up two crocheted projects while traveling in Latvia and Estonia a few weeks ago. The first is number 12B with a bordered added. It's a combination of 200g Araucania Ranco Solid (black and grey) with Novita Tico-Tico as the border. I could have made it even larger, but ran out of yarn.

The second is a Queen Anne's Lace scarf made from Patons Classic Wool and a 4mm hook. This pattern was very addictive and would make a great last minute gift!
