Isn’t Vancouver beautiful?
On the needles is a scarf of a sort. I need to use up a ball of yarn that I made up when I started knitting. I wanted to do a project like Kaffe Fassett’s Persian poppies waistcoat (non-Ravelry link for an idea of what I mean).
I really didn’t understand about concepts like gauge or yarn weight or anything, so I just used bits of all the yarns I liked. The project did not really turn out like I expected it to (try not to be surprised), and the ball of bits of yarn sat in my basket for several years.
I had a bit of a brainwave after I made a design for a knit boa, and decided to make a multi-coloured one:
I quite like it. If anyone has any great ideas about what to do with the corresponding blue one, please share.
Pattern for the boa will be forthcoming soon.
