Autumnal Knit Finish

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will remember my Yarn Along posts (they have been few and far between of late) where I shared my latest projects, one of which was the Stockholm Scarf.

The last time I shared I was inches away from a finish - that was in late August - well, I did in fact finish it not long after that post. It has taken me that long to do a self-portrait type photograph - which I hate doing, it's a bit like a trip to the dentist for me - something that I would really rather avoid! LOL

 Anyhoo - here's the 'Ta-Daaah' moment...




 I LOVE it! It is one of the best additions to my winter wardrobe this year. I love the colour, the feel, the warmth, the pattern -everything about it ;o). My lovely daughters are now begging for one - so I guess I had better get DH's sweater finished asap and get knitting!

    1. It took quite a bit of yarn Karen - but it is so worth it!

  5. Shirley, this scarf is really lovely!!! (I just started knitting a year ago, so this looks extra impressive to me!) :) I also enjoyed your autumn cross-stitch in your last post; so pretty! It inspired me to pick up (read: finish!!) my latest cross-stitch project!

    1. Well done Carina! I go through stages too - start something and have a total love affair with one needlework craft and then get side-tracked with something else that I fall equally madly in love with!
