Scarves are YUMMO! What's next???

Well, it only took two weeks to whip these up. They're deceptively heavy but look gorgeous. The pattern is free as I said, and very open to creative license so get stitching! This one is for Bec, whose birthday is coming up in August. The red one below is for Emma, whose birthday is in November...did it early while the pattern was fresh in my head.

I used some scraps on this one, hence the multi-coloured rosettes. Didn't do the ball centres though as they obscured too much of the inside coloured yarn and I didn't have enough of that yarn to make the centres.

Pretty happy with it though. I sent Bec a picture of the scarf with a red and black leaf, and she chose black leaves, so I also opted for not doing the picot edging...was just too much for the scarf.

I have enough yarn to do a red one for myself too! Takes about 600yards of yarn. I've used Red Heart Classic, which is about a 10ply in Australia, or a Medium 4 in US. I bought it from supermart.com and each scarf has cost me approx $10. 




Needless to say that Emsky is not too happy having to wait until November 30th for her gift BUT, she'll have to. Judging by last year's weather then, she might still get some wear out of it in the evenings here.

Problem now is, what is next on the agenda? I'm thinking I should do the scarf for ME next, while the pattern is fresh in my head, but I have a few other projects 'hibernating' so could do one of those? Don't need any of them until Xmas though...
