I think that she has done a great job with this pattern and I have been asking her for permission to publish for a few months... but I think you will agree with me, it has been well worth waiting for.
And finally, if you ever see my sister looking at you like this... run, run as fast as you can and don't look back!
Now, I know what this look means... and it isn't going to end happily...
And for no better reason than it is still Christmas, I just had to finish with this... enjoy!
Ah I love it! One of the best clips ever in the movies. Your sister models so very well! Happy New Year to you and yours x
ReplyDeleteA lovely scarf. I just happened to have some spare King Cole Galaxy so I've just started it! Can I ask which part of the rows do you repeat 7 times? Many thanks, Linda xx
ReplyDeleteCrystal,
ReplyDeleteFrom the stitch count, I think the K1, P1 is repeated 7 times. The KT6, P2, K4, P2 at the beginning adds up to 14 sts. The P2, K4, P2, K6 at the end is also 14 sts. Repeating (K1, P1) 7 times adds up to 14 sts. And 3 times 14 = 42.
Got it! Thanks very much abelian. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf/wrap. Could another type of yarn be used? Any suggestions? Thanks for posting this beautiful creation.
