This time I tried it with alternate colours to see the effect. It works up really well in the sedge stitch.
I could only get 8 rows instead of 18 so it turned out too thin. I don't unravel much, I tend to kind of adapt instead. The only time I would unwind is if I had bought the wool myself and I really liked it. So I bought some trim as a rescue remedy.
Isn't that pretty? It has a bit more of a spring feel than the purple sparkly one. Definitely one for the Spring/Summer wardrobe I think, when my white trousers make an appearance.
Now, you all know I hate to put scraps back in the basket so I made some flowers with the lengths that would not make a full round on the scarf. I glued them onto a ring I had already covered months ago with other scraps.
Crochet Happy today. I am off to check out more CAL links.
Thanks for stopping by. Jo x
I am trying to get all caught up, looks like you have had a great week with crochet classes, allotment time and beautiful crochet scarves. Love all you have done Jo.

Jo!...it's so pretty! nicely done. And so is the little wreath. A great way to use up all those little leftovers.

Very nice. I'm totally in love with pom pom edgings.
ReplyDeleteStunning scarf, love the trim. I am making wreaths for my daughters wedding, spring makes you think of flowers.
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea to use up bits & pieces of wool. Your scarf looks great too!
ReplyDeleteThe infinity scarf will be very pretty when spring and even summer arrive. The bobble trim was a genius modification.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is gorgeous such a wonderful effect and I do love a flower wreath, and of course the pom poms

Just lovely Jo, I am so keen to make an infinity scarf really want one but the time seems to slip through my hands like water, wish I could be as dedicated as you are. I love this new one you have made Jo and would love one in pink for the spring. I adore your blog Jo always something interesting to read. Big hugs to you

I love your wreath, it is so pretty and a great use of your ends. Your scarf is very pretty too and I like the addition of the trim as it makes it a little different from a straightforward scarf. xx
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty post! Cx
ReplyDeleteHello Jo
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across your lovely blog ! So many lovely things to look at, I really love the pom pom edging on your cow, a really clever touch. I was also very intrigued by your tag tutorial, so had a little nosey there too - so many good ideas. Don't you just love tags ? My latest post is all about them !

I love both. The scarf is very delicate and feminine and I love the way the wreath looks. It's like spring in this post. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the crafty, gluey, patchy tip...love your blog...I will be back. Eco Ethel xx
ReplyDeleteBoth are uniquely lovely, Jo! Especially "Yes!" to the cowl with your white slacks :) xx
ReplyDeletePerfect combination! It is suited to each other. Your scarf is very very pretty. Just looking at your finished product, makes me want to learn to knit as fast as possible, so I can make an infinity scarf too. Thanks for sharing! :)
