Love and Hugs

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

Details here
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.

  3. Very pretty indeed Maria. Knitting takes so much longer to do doesn't it?
    I'm sure the lucky recipient will love it.
    Cheers

  4. 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.

  5. The 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.

  6. Very pretty - I believe both brands come from the same mill.
