A New Scarf
I made me a new scarf to match my recently thrifted coat. I was inspired by Denyse Schmidt's Scrap Wrap, that Carol also made and 6,5 st.'s way of mixing fabric and knitted pieces. I love her style, it's very unique. In The Crafter's Companion she gives instructions on, how to make the cutest "Zakka Style Pouch" with the knit/fabric combo as well - as you all probably know! Very inspiring. I wish I could hold her stuff. You know. Just feel it. Have a better look ;o)
The back is flax fabric. The yarns are thrifted, as is the fabric with the pattern - an old duvet cover. I'm real happy how it turned out.
it looks great...
oh how
i love to have
scarves + mittens
to match
each coat...
= heaven.

Beautiful scarf Kristina! I just made Big J a patchwork scarf last night. If I was a knitter I would have incorporated some knit pieces...love that effect.
