Success

I have finished the scarf *grins* It's a shame it's not for me really, as I have become quite fond of it.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, this is scarf mark 2, as the first attempt was with yarn that made me want to remove my hands so I had an excuse not to touch it ;) Funnily enough, remaking the scarf in Malabrigo made it a much nicer experience, who knew? *laughs*


As you can see, it works both thrown around and folded in half and fed through the loop, so my gran can wear it whichever way she is comfortable with (excuse my vacant expression, late night last night!)

I love both the colour of the yarn and my improvised pattern:


I think it works really well and I hope my gran likes it. One of the huge bonuses of finishing it this week is that I should be seeing her tomorrow, so I can hand it over in person rather than posting it to her.

Now to see if I can fit it into a nerd wars challenge, and I'll have a double whammy *laughs*

  13. Who wouldn't love Malabrigo whether knitting with it or wearing it? Their yarns just have something special about them that I love. The scarf is beautiful, how kind you are to knit for her!
