Ingrid

Another lacy scarf from Knitspot.

This one is the Butternut Scarf, knitted in a Colourmart laceweight yarn.

76 days on the needles, but only 7 active days knitting on it. The pattern knits up very quickly, with a nice rhythm. Only one major goof, at the half way point, when I had to rip 11 rows out. I had a lifeline in, thankfully.

Knitted as given, apart from upping the needles one size.

Lovely pattern. Lovely yarn.

Ingrid Bergman

This scarf is every bit as delicate as a kiss,  I think.

“Ingrid” – because this piece of knitting is for comfort in the same way that an old Ingrid Bergman B&W 3 hankie movie is for comfort on a dreary winter afternoon. I don’t have a TV to watch, but I do have lace to knit.

Gone to a better home – already!

I  had the devil of a job photographing this scarf – it is a difficult shade to capture consistently at the best of times but the added problem of low light levels made it all the more difficult. Oh – and guess what I noticed when I blocked it? Yep.

I'd love to show the wonderful colour off, if only I could!
