...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.
