Hi everyone
Well remember that pink wool I just had to buy for someone very special?
And you know how much I hate "knitting" scarves
There are so many pretty crochet patterns out there to use
But the someone special does not like crochet
So as it was a project of love and hugs
I persevered
You can imagine how much love and hugs went into this ;-)
What a mess
But lightly steamed blocked, it became this
Just in case you were wondering how much love and hugs went into it
220cm x 13cm!!!
Now fingers crossed the recipient likes it

Just in case you were wondering, as this was a rush job, the wool is not Bendigo's Classic but Heirloom's Easy Care. It would seem that it is only a branding difference between them. The wool feels exactly the same, but Easy Care's seems very slightly more splitty the Classic.
It looks lovely Maria. You've done a great job with it :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Maria, Your hook and pins have been very busy... :))
ReplyDeleteVery pretty indeed Maria. Knitting takes so much longer to do doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the lucky recipient will love it.
Cheers

Hi Maria ... The scarf looks beautiful. Such a pretty pink too. Interesting comment re the Easy Care wool - I'm using some at the moment and am finding it really nice to use.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is very pretty. I have to say that the classic bendigo wool ends up being very soft once washed but I still dont like the stitch definition it gives when knitted up.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - I believe both brands come from the same mill.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty that scarf is - I am sure the recipient will love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and admire your perseverance. And with 220 cm length this is a very warm scarf. Great job.
ReplyDeletefor some one who dislikes knitting your scarf is lovely.
