Well I said it was quick! 😀

I’ve finished my “So Called Scarf” already.

It was a great travelling knit until I got onto the second skein on Manos. Then it was too big to fit comfortably in my handbag. I then had to do more of it at home. Mewsley decided to “help” me by sprawling on my lap every time she saw the scarf 🙂

Fortunately, this scarf did manage to provide an upside to my recent frequent visits to the dentist. Those two crowns I told you about? I dislodged one and needed root canal treatment in the other 😥 Big “OWwww”

In pain and waiting for my dentist to be able to squeeze me in to his schedule, I sat in the waiting room concentrating on knitting as a distraction from the hurt in my jaw and so I wouldn’t think about the fun and games to come. I must have been pretty worried – I knit really fast and finished the thing!

I did think the scarf looked a little like a strip of carpet when it was done – why carpet? I have no idea – it just said that to me! Maybe because it’s quite a thick fabric in that stitch. I decided to embellish the ends a little to make it look more scarfy and less carpety.

Remember the Lilac shell buttons I used on Geno? You don’t? These…

I needed 6 for Geno but the ones I wanted only came in a pack of 30 – they were very reasonable (£5.99 in John Lewis) so I splashed out. Hmmmmmm…..Just the thing for the scarf…

What do you think?

Here’s a close up to the buttonerisation…

A steam with the iron and here it is with the lovely suede coat it was made to go with!

I made the scarf so I could fold it double and tuck the ends through as shown because it is quite narrow – 12cmish but it varies because the yarn is “thick and thin”. I made mine 170cm long too which left me with at least half a skein (Out of two skeins) over. I thought you’d like the stats in case you’re thinking af making one.  😛
