This scarf is part of my latest attempt to learn to Dress Myself. Maybe at forty-three, I can become fashionable!
I recently purged my wardrobe of two lawn and leaf bags full of stuff I never wore. I don’t know why I thought I needed four jeans skirts. I did need more of this kind of thing, though. This scarf is so perfect, adding color without a lot of frou, adding that extra something that gives a gray pullover and wool pants a reason to be smashing. Just putting it on the dressmaker’s dummy made me feel a little bit French. The pattern is Annis by Susannah IC. I finished knitting it last night while I was watching the best Halloween movie ever. Johnny, I love you!
I love that with just a few yarnovers and k2togs, I can make something that looks like that. I can’t wait to wear it!
Oh my, that scarf is beautiful. 43! You're a kid!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and a really pretty colour as well. x
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is a little slice of heaven. Just like Johnny.
ReplyDeleteI am 4 years older than you and I have adapted my style of dressing not a jot over the years. Mind you, I never was a mini skirt type so probably no harm done. I love your scarf. I am a bit obsessed with them, I love them so much. I do think that the French give a certain something to whatever they knit. I am not sure what it is, the colours the proportions. Anyway, yours is very jolie. I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as you did making it. Lovely pretty colours and delicate pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat scarf would rock the socks off a jeans, t-shirt and cardigan combo! I'm just sayin! Whoop! Amazing!!!
