Scarf Exchange 2010

This is the scarf I received in return from sending to Geelong Handweavers & Spinners Guild Inc. 2010 my 150 grams of 18 micron merino fleece.

The colour is perfectly blended.
The pattern and length is perfect.
I received it from Y D. from Augusta . W.A. 6290.

Scarf for Scarf Exchange 2010

View previous post for preparation before I knitted this scarf.
It is a very simple pattern, No 15mm needles and 11 stitches. Garter Stitch till the desired length. Then I added lots of individual tassles.
I call it my Octopus scarf.
Just for fun I made a felted flower and added a band which can be tidied at the back leaving the flower at a position you would normally wear a broach.

Scarf is hanging on my trusty BABE spinning Wheel.

Scarf Exchange 2010

This year the Scarf Exchange is being organised by the Geelong Handweavers & Spinners Guild Inc.
I received my parcel of lovely merino white top 150 gms.
The theme is
From the River to the Sea.
I dyed using Landscape dyes in the microwave, Royal B lue (sea) Kingfisher (river) Yellow (sand) White (clouds).
On my Wild Carder I carden the fleece mixing the colours. I then spun it on
my BABE Spinning Wheel and plied it back with Dark Blue, Yellow wool yarn and light blue glitter yarn. Adding randomly angelina (glitter) and mohair.
