Hooray! Triangle scarf

This scarf started life a long time ago. It was from a pattern in Molly Makes issue 25, I am not as wealthy as to have bought the magazine that month, a mum at school ripped it out and said she saw it and thought of me - so that is my only reference I am afraid. I posted about it last March!


The pink and blue wool is something lovely and expensive, I think it is Debbie Bliss cashmerino but I was given two balls of it in a bag of all sorts. The honey colour is some sort of crepe wool. What a mash up!


 

It really needed blocking and was much better for it.


I am still a bit transfixed with my new pom pom maker.


YAY! it was sunny yesterday.


Unusual but nice I think, just toying with the idea of buying one more ball to make a border to straighten the whole thing up a bit.


It is still a work in progress really but with sunshine like that, I just had to take some photos. I am off to take a look at the other CAL projects with Marianne and Chrissie today.

  5. It's lovely Jo, I really like your colour combination and the fact that it is something a little bit different from the standard scarf. xx

  6. It's fantastic, Jo. I love the way the honey color sort of tempers the pink and blue, making it look sophisticated instead of babyish. The pompoms are a perfect touch!

  7. I love the colours and those pom poms are divine. I love that it is different from the run of the mill scarf.

  8. I like your colours Jo, they look really good together, and the large pom poms really add a bit of punch to your scarf! Its good to see some triangles too for a change!

  9. That is a beautiful scarf - I love the unusual colour combination, and of course the pom poms make it magical... ;-) I'm not sure it needs a border - I'd test one out with some neutral yarn you already have before you go buying anything - I actually really love the triangle shapes and the angles they create with the scarf. A border might detract from them if it's too fussy...or just add tiny pom poms all the way around! Cxxx

    1. I have worn it today and you are spot on, it looks fine without a border, the edges are a bit lacy anyway, with a denim jacket it looked good. Not sure what else I have in my wardrobe to go with it??! Jo x
