Another New Scarf

I'm not sure why I'm so fascinated with scarves; I don't really wear them.  Maybe it's because they are so quick and easy to make and it doesn't make me cry if I have to frog or tink them because I made a mistake.

I have finished moving, almost finished unpacking and the knitting bug finally hit me again.  It left me for about two weeks but it's back in full force.  I think the initiating factor was having to re-organize my stash.  I didn't realize I had collected so many skeins of yarn.  Luckily I now have a dedicated craft room and plenty of room to store it; though the rest of my crafts have to reside in the closet ;)

So here is my latest creation.  I was originally going to call it the Eyelet Scarf but the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of those wooden trellises that so many people have in their gardens.  So I renamed it the Trellis Scarf.

I love the way the color turned out.  I used a wool/acrylic blend of Covington yarn from Cascade Yarns.  I loved working with it.

The scarf turned out a bit shorter than I would normally make and if I had to do it again, I would probably make it a bit more narrow to gain some length.  I also don't usually add fringe but I thought this scarf could use it.  I absolutely love the way it turned out and I hope you do too.



This scarf is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.  Please take a look.
