Modelled on my apple tree....
And on my garden bench.
Finished Object Stats
Yarn - Laceweight Merino from Yarnsnob (100g skein - I had 11 yards left)
Needles - 3.75mm addi lace turbos, 80cm long
Pattern - Harebell lace Fichu from Victorian Lace Today - heavily modified (some explanation later on)
Cast on - 11 August
Finished - 27 September
Finished Dimensions - 13" by 64" after blocking
This is a picture of the origional pattern.
I took the harebell part of this chart, and knit 25 repeats of 4 sets of it across the scarf. These were offset so that the difference in stitch numbers was evened out.
I then knit on the picoty pointy border using the same attachment method as the myrtle leaf shawl.
And the combination makes a lovely squishy warm scarf that is just perfect to be a birthday present for my mum. Her birthday has already been (and she has no idea I have a blog) but I will deliver it in person in about a month!
The next project has been conceived - I have 2 skeins of Colinette Skye in neptune colourway, and I am going to make bedsocks!
