The yarn is Patons - Lace Sequin and the pattern is a freebie from their website called Delicate Cables Scarf.

ReplyDeleteWoah! You were a busy bee! I can't even imagine -30+! Got to -20 with the windchill here the other day and I didn't want to stay a second outside longer than I had to!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the finishes, right down to the dish cloths! Nothing better to wash dishes with :) My nan made me a bunch when I went to live away for school. I loved them!
Keep warm

I was tempted by the pink scarf project too - I might have a look this weekend and see what yarn I can find :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Loretta! Look at all the pretty things you've done just this month alone. You are one busy lady. I saw the blog about the pink scarves and will head back there to take a second look. You have a wonderful day girlfriend.
