I am so torn. Part of me wants to hold on to every last bit of summer for as long as I can! I love that I can run out in my bear feet and not get frost bite, I love the feel of the hot sun on my skin, slow evening walks to the ice cream shop. Summer is wonderful. But.... I want to wrap myself up in knits! I can't wait for fall to arrive!
I knit Julie's Stockholm scarf back in June, and it's taken me until now to take FO shots. It's just been way too hot for wool scarves! This is a great pattern and a perfect pairing for this yarn. I used TFA Yellow Label DK Weight yarn in the Sunset colourway. I knit mine in the round. I used all of 2 skeins, I just knit until I ran out of yarn and ended up with a gorgeous, generous scarf. It's warm, cushy, pretty and is sure to become a fall staple. I've been dying to do a proper FO shoot for a while now, and though it's certainly not cool enough for the outfit I'm sporting in these shots, plum coloured corduroys and a jean shirt are exactly what I feel like wearing with this awesome scarf!
That scarf is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI literally ADORE that. Great color, awesome outfit combo too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf T~ I love it in the round. I am so ready for fall too. It been summer in GA since about March - ack. Maybe if I start a scarf and a pair of fingerless mitts I can hurry fall along?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and that colour is gorgeous! Nice and bright, but it'll look great with fall and winter clothes once things cool off.
ReplyDeleteAh, I know how you feel! I don't want summer to go away but I can't wait to wear jeans and wool ;) And that scarf is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe Stockholm scarf is on my list of "must knits!" and seeing your FO has inspired me to push it up on the list. The color is perfect and you look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! It looks so great in sunset, and I love your hair like that, too!
ReplyDeleteYou Stockholm Scarf turned out beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern, beautiful colour!
ReplyDeleteI'd been wanting to do something with the Sunset colourway since I saw it at my LYS, but gifted my one stashed skein to a dear friend who needed serious cheering up and de-stressing last month (it worked!) while I pondered what I wanted to make with it before buying more.
This is at the top of the list of possibilities now!
Very lovely! It's in my queue - you know, the one that will so outlive me. :)
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous shots Tanis. Your Stockholm Scarf is so gorgeous.
ReplyDelete...and you've made me really yearn for those cool fall days!
I think you found the perfect colour/pattern combo. SOOO gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf- you look adorable, too!
ReplyDeleteYour cowl looks so soft, squishy, cozy, and cuddly...everything I want in a cowl!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and much too warm for Florida, pretty much ever.
ReplyDeleteJust think, though, that if you truly had "bear feet," you could run around shoeless in any kind of weather!
Love, love this scarf!! I printed this pattern off of Julie's website ages ago and purchased the yarn, TFA green label in OOAK colorway. Seeing this post makes me want to get started on it right away.
ReplyDeleteyour cowl is lovely! every version i see of the stockholm scarf makes me want to make it more... but i need the perfect yarn... (i'm jealous of your plum cords!)
