At night time I have been watching lots of trashy television series and working on my crochet. I am getting very good at this Liberty Bliss scarf. So far this is about as good as my crochet gets. I am looking forward to some lessons coming up on how to make Hexagons.
This scarf was finished for my dear friend's birthday. I love picking a Liberty Tana Lawn print first that I think suits the person I am making it for. Then I choose the four colours to go with it.
For this scarf I used Rowan Handknit cotton from Calico and Ivy. One of my favourite shop here in Perth. The cotton was delightful to work with and I am using it again in another scarf.
This scarf is for another close friend whose birthday is coming up. This is Biggan Yarn - it is a Merino wool and much fluffier than the cotton. I bought this wool from Tangled Yarns. If you have not checked out this shop - you should - Kelly and her team are so inspirational and are always so helpful with my many, many crochet questions.
This wool - also the Rowan handknit cotton is currently being crocheted as we speak - will show you when it is finished.
I am so lucky to have such a talented friend. You are amazing. I love all the wonderful projects you make and are so proud to tell everyone who makes all the beautiful pieces I have received.
