A scarf for my former sort-of-mother-in-law who I adore! Normally I avoid the weird shaggy ribbon yarn they sell at some knitting stores because it looks old-ladyish. I used it as trim here and it actually turned out quite glamorous:
At long last . . .
Dear readers,
Forgive my long absence. I'm sure it seems as if I have stopped all hand crafts, but actually I have been non-stop knitting, sewing, quilting, spinning, etc . . . for months. The production has been so intense that I have barely even taken pictures before giving things away. But here is a brief sample of what I have been up to. This scarflet/neck warmer is for our delightful department secretary. I tried to make this neckwarmer as quirky and warm as she is. The yarn is from Falklandknits in the UK, the Spinninglab on Etsy, and the buttons are vintage and come all the way from the Czech republic.
