...and I love it. I used Knit Picks 'Gossamer' laceweight, 100% merino wool, color Blue Jeans; double stranded.
It can be scarf or shawl and has been keeping me cozy warm when I've ventured out on some of the frigid days we have had recently. Sometimes I use it like a shawl in the morning before the woodstove has warmed up the house.
And, also finished, a beret to match...
...using Knit Picks 'Wool of the Andes' in Arctic Pool Heather. I knit it on two needles (rather than circular) using a combination of two patterns ~ a larger version of the child's beret from Debbie Bliss' Family Knits and this Woman's Day Magazine Parisian beret.

And, I have just enough yarn left for some fingerless gloves.
After a wind storm yesterday, it is now snowing out like crazy; a perfect weekend for projects!
Happy Weekend!!
Oh, how lovely. Say, do you have any great crochet patterns for a newbie? I am doing simple dish cloths and have a few patterns, but maybe there something else simple you could suggest. You always inspire me with your creations!
ReplyDeleteHave a warm, cozy day,

Beautiful! Wish I could knit.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are beautiful! You did a GREAT job with them!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely scarf/shawl. Blue is my favorite color and that yarn color is yummy. Enjoy the warmth. I'm going to try my hand at socks and a pair of fingerless gloves this month. That's my goal and I hope to stick to it, LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow and have a wonderful cozy and creative weekend.

I love the beret with the scarf and the blue is ever such a pretty color.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could make sense of English knitting patterns... it looks lovely will have to google for some German ones...
ReplyDeleteOh you'll have the complete set when you make the gloves. I love the shawl so much. We have the same problem of trying to get warm, while we are waiting for the woodburning stove to get going ~ Julia x
ReplyDeleteLove both the scarf and that darling beret, they are lovely. I especially like the yarn you used for the scarf/shawl. Enjoy the weekend, stay warm and cozy. Linda
ReplyDeleteLovely knits !
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf! The color is gorgeous and it looks so warm & cozy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful set. And a great idea to have a scarf that can become a warmer wrap. I might just try that. For next year. I'll never get it done during this current cold spell! ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteI like very much the beret you knitted, what a pretty name the wool has too, 'Arctic Pool Heather'
ReplyDeleteI wish I could knit sleeveless gloves but have no idea how to use three needles...
Have a nice cozy week end!
Lovely hat and scarf,I love knitting just wish I had more time to do it !!We have had a light snowfall,last night it started like huge cotton wool balls but alas did not last more than an hour.But thanks to a sharp frost all night it looked white this morning.Most of it has melted now except in sheltered areas behind hedges.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous set Deb. Love the colour.

Aw Deb, stop hiding behind that camera. Let us see your pretty face. Please.
ReplyDeleteBoth are really lovely! I like that you can use the scarf as shawl. You always make me wish I could knit!

I love the scarf and want to make one badly but I am afraid of the pattern?!
ReplyDeleteIs it an advanced pattern or do you think an intermediate knitter could do it happily?
Also, when you pictured it draped over the couch it looks very large. Is that just the way it photographed or is it really large? It looks really cute on you!
Thank you for sharing this!
