Gathering Gifts…
I recently got hooked with making scarves with sock yarn. I know this does sounds unusual but it is the beauty of ART mixing media and breaking rules creating something new. The end result is amazing and always makes me to create some more…
Back to the scarf; it is very airy scarf. There are four reasons why I like making them. They look airy, finishes up faster, makes a big fashion statement, and great way to gather gifts for the holiday season.
If you are using a bigger needle since the yarn is a sock yarn they makes big holes it gives this airy looking scarf. If the weather is not that overwhelming cold you can wear this wonderful scarf. Additionally if you are working in an office may be straight under fan you can wear it a part of your outfit…
I have to admit it finishes up super fast… I can make 2 in a day if I don’t get distracted from my heaping projects… I have tried big needle such as # 15 and # 12wrks like a machine knits fast…
It does make a pretty impressive fashion statement since its unusual look… it does not look like a winter scarf but functional. When you look at the yarn stock at the craft store… I want to make scarves for all my outfits…
Especially the holiday season is around the corner why not stock up for some gifts…
Gathering gifts could be so much fun if you think outside the box, and invest on quality… but that’s my personal theory...
I had so much fun creating these… because all the features that I mentioned was working in harmony with this project…
