This is a project I’m pretty darn pleased with. When I was thinking of a gift for Laura I knew it had to be a scarf. She is one of the greatest scarf connoisseurs that I know. I don’t know if she buys a scarf first and then matches the outfit or vice versa; but either way there is some serious Garanimal action going on.
At first I wasn’t sure if the Boteh Scarf pattern was the way to go. Even though it had potential with the “falling leaf” look, it just wasn’t striking to me; but I already had the yarn and I was running out of time. Because I had previously purchased four colors of yarn (I’ve got to stop buying yarn before I know what I’m going to make) I was forced to alternate the colors of the motifs. Completely renegade from other versions of the scarf that I had seen. I was a bit nervous.
After the first set of four I knew I had a winner. I can’t wait for Laura’s reaction when I give it to her next Tuesday.
The pattern is available for download from Interweave for $5.
The yarn used is Peruvian Baby Silk from Elann.com. A blend of 80% baby alpaca and 20% silk; this yarn is a spun orgasm! I chose Parchment, Mocha Cream, Peridot and Moroccan Olive colors.
