Modification

Today I spent time modifying the Baktus Scarf I knitted a few weeks ago. I felt it needed to be less plain and decided I would add a crocheted border. I must admit I do like the look of crochet and knitting together.



Somehow the crocheted border makes the whole scarf look bigger than it is, but it is certainly keeping my neck warm indoors at the moment! Yes, indoors! Our gas fire in the Lounge has finally died (it is 16 years old) and I refuse to put the central heating on until it gets much, much colder.
Today's been a day for wool-crafts as I also started knitting Jenni's scarf with the same simple pattern I used for mine. 


She chose purple of course, and a 4 ply yarn rather than double knitting but, hey, it's a challenge and I enjoy a challenge. It will just take me longer to knit up.
I think hers will get the crochet-border-treatment too!

  1. The new border definately adds to the scarf ~ very snuggly & warm looking.

  3. Your crocheted trim is the perfect touch - and you have made me even more determined now to grab the crochet hook by the horns and have a go :)
