Beatrice Shawl

 

Sometime I have a result in dyeing that I am not quite that happy with.

Take this yarn; It is a beautiful soft 125g of merino, gorgeously spun originally white.

 

Than I dyed it randomly with yellow red and blue dye powder and although I wasn't totally disappointed it turned out very different from what I had hoped for.

 

What to use it for??????????

 

So it lay in waiting for more then a year, perhaps even two until this pattern caught my eye....

So I knitted it.

 

And blocked it.



 

 

And now I like it a lot.

The pattern was very suitable for this yarn and turned it into a very happy shawl that is light and very soft.

 

 



Scarf

An other older project is this scarf.

Made from the lovely pattern "Persuasion Scarf" by Kristi Johanson published in the Spin Off magazine of Fall 2011

I knitted it with some left over Arapawa wool originally spun and used for a vest , beany and fingerless gloves for my farmer. 

The dark colour is hard to photograph but I do like the scarf and it does belong in this archive too.

Now who needs a scarf?
