Finished Object: Nanny’s Scarf

Posted by Teaandcakes on Jun 28 2006 | Crafty things



Here’s the scarf before it was wrapped up and given away.

Pattern: Feather and Fan lace, with a 2 stitch garter border.

Yarn: Rowan Soft Baby.

The yarn is super soft and lovely, but a bit odd to knit with – it doesn’t seem spun, it’s a bit like knitting with cotton wool.

Nanny seemed to like the scarf, but it totally played second fiddle to the framed picture of himself that my brother gave her – she’s been after one for ages and was delighted with it, which was lovely to see. She’d also been given a giant Thorntons hamper – I think my uncle had been in and bought one of everything they sell. I was very jealous, and if I make it to 90 I’ll be demanding one of those.

    I think the scarf looks gorgous, and a lovely shade of baby blue?

    I found that swap just after the last sign up date – it sounds fab and I’ll most definitely be partaking next time round.

    All looks lovely. Ever considered knitting to be somewhat sinister? Look no further:

    Be afraid, be very afraid…
