More Christmas Knitting Revealed

Ruffles from Scarf Style.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my Froth Scarf in my last post. Okay, as many of you guessed, some of my secret knitting a few weeks ago was the Ruffles Scarf from Scarf Style. I made it for Sarah (Mom's Knitting Again) who had been so generous to me in this year's Rowan exchange. I was conscious of the fact that living in Louisiana she may be better with a scarf for style rather than warmth as such, so this combination was born. Now I know she has safely received it and is happy with it I can show it to you properly. I was delighted with the finished product but I must warn you- doing the recommended amount of stitches in this yarn results in quite a narrow boa. (Which suited my purposes for the above reasons.)

I used Louisa Harding Kimono Angora shade# 02 for this. I purchased mine in Stitching Time in Hamilton, but I see Cucumber Patch stock this shade at the moment too. http://www.cucumberpatch.co.uk/kimono_angora.htm

I keep observing how I (and many other bloggers) return to the same colour combinations. This is the scarf next to the socks which the recipient Sarah sent to me! Magnetically drawn.

The corkscrew effect worked a treat.

A sneaky preview. Please don't say if you recognise this, as many of you will, particularly Glasgow Stitch 'n' Bitchers. A big curly wurly pile of Christmas softness. Please feel free to say if you love it. Wink wink. More revealing photos and write-up to follow, after Santy's been.
