It’s Fluffier in Person

I’ve been working on a stealth knitting project for the past week, and I finally get to write the FO post since it was given to the Birthday Girl  this morning. She loves it.

Pattern: Scrunchable Scarf by Susan McCone (KnitList)

Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Aura, Color 750 (Ivory), 2 balls

Needles: U.S. Size 8/5.0mm

Size: After blocking, approximately 4″ by 48″

A very easy pattern, and it’s the yarn that really sets the scarf apart as special.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t photograph that well.  The silk gives it a lovely sheen and the mohair has wonderful loft.

The thought I had as I was knitting this was that it would be a perfect scarf to wear for a “special occasion” evening.

It was graciously received.  It was given to a co-worker who has watched me knit for a few years; she knows how happy it makes me to work with high-quality yarn.

I hope I got all the cat hair out of it before I gave it to her…

    The pictures do not do this scarf justice. It is so beautiful and so appreciated, I’m actually looking forward to snow and I did not find any cat hair.

    Thank you so much!
