Woolen dreams

Textures Mixed by Kim Klassen & Coffee Creak by Nancy Clayes


Only a few rows and my woolen tube scarf is ready ... This knitwork has been lying in the bottom of my yarn basket since April, so I picked it up again this weekend. 

Mornings are getting cold - a cotton scarf is not warm enough anymore. I look forward of wearing this tube scarf: The  deep blue yarn is a blend of wool and silk, and the light yarn is mohair... making the scarf both  soft and airy.

I knitted two of these as Christmas presents last winter, they're easy and rather fast to knit. Maybe an inspiration for you to a homemade present?

Water for tea is boiling, and my knitwork is waiting...

Until next time,
 
Nina

    That's a lovely soft blue, Nina - it's cold enough for a warm scarf here, too.

    Kaunista ja pehmeää! En muuten oikein osaa käyttää mohairia yksinään ja yhdistän sen usein jonkun muun langan kanssa.

    That is one of my favorite colors - it's beautiful! How lucky you are that you know how to knit. I tried to learn once and was very confused...lol.

    It looks so cozy, I love the color. I wish I knew how to knit or crochet, my step-daughter is really good at it and has made scarves, she is currently working on a blanket!

    Hi Nina! That color is beautiful. Good choice! It will look great on you. You are so fortunate to be able to make such nice things. I am a total klutz at stuff like that.

    Enjoy your tea, I'll enjoy my coffee :)

    I haven't knitted anything for years and, especially at this time of year, when I see balls of soft and cozy looking wool, I am tempted to start again but, as my husband points out, I already struggle to find the time for my photography as and paper crafting and jewelry making so, probably better not start another project. Still I can admire the lovely colour and wooly texture you have captured in this photo.
