Hello - I hope you all had a very pleasant weekend.
I actually managed to find a little bit of crafting time and managed to whip up a Xmas scarf for my sister in law.
Do you recognise the pattern?
If you've been following my blog for a while, you may remember that I knit this leaf pattern scarf back in May. Though I used Rowan Lenpur Linen yarn then and made a summer scarf, which my aunt absolutely loved. This time around I wanted to use a really chunky wool.
Pattern: Free from here
Yarn: Rowan Big Wool 100% Merino Wool
Colourway: Vert (shade 00054)
It's one of the simplest patterns to follow and I knit this whilst watching Fred Claus yesterday afternoon.
I've got a few more to make, but if it only take an evening to knit each one, then I should have a couple more scarves completed by the weekend.
Rowan Big Wool isn't cheap, but it comes in some beautiful colours, feels lovely, and most importantly it's snuggly and warm. I hope the recipients will like them. I'm thinking of knitting the other 2 in a deep purple colour and also a vibrant pink.
Right, now I'm off to try and buy the latest Shrek from Sainsbury's, seeing as they're selling it at only £8 today.
