Hooray! Spring infinity scarf

Here is my second infinity scarf. I made it from 100g of cotton so the yardage was really short compared to 100g of DK. 

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

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.

How????

Someone tell me how I have been living my life with out a pom pom maker?!

So fast and easy, make them with the girls, hang them round the house, instant craft gratification.

Just what we needed with a big girl home from school with a virus - the postman must have felt my pain.

Happy Valentines day. Jo xx
