My second version of the One & Done scarf by Casapinka.
This one was made with Drops Alpaca in a colourway called Golden Rod which Christina from Colourful life kindly gave me. Even though it is a thicker yarn than my last one in fingering weight it didn't seem to block out as big so it is a frippery of neck attire which can be worn all day.
You do not embark on this project unless you are prepared to wet block the finished item. It goes from a scrunched up piece of ribbing to this beautiful crescent by using lots of pins and patience.

It is soft and pretty with a texture like lace. I am not done with this pattern, there will be more!
It goes very well with my wool skirt and a few other things I already have so it is definitely a keeper.
Thanks for looking. I need my next take along project - socks I think.

Appologies if you've already had a comment from me. I thought it was my laptop being slow but commenting via my phone seems slow too.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say - I love the colour and pattern of your scarf. You've done it really well, Cathy x
Beautiful! It is one of my favourite colours. Your knitting is exquisite. The pattern looks very tricky! x
ReplyDeleteVery lovely indeed.
ReplyDeleteJo, it is beautiful. Perfect for this time of year and such a stunning colour.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super colour and will really suit you. That shawl looks just as great in DK as well as 4ply.

ReplyDeleteIt has such a lovely shape. You must have an amazing stash of scarves and shawls. xx
ReplyDeleteI give a lot of them away as presents but I have about six which are my favourites. Jo xx
DeleteI love it but better steer clear as my blocking skills stink. I am in love with that golden color right now, I love the warmth of the tone, so peaceful.
