FO Friday 42: Sunday Scarf










I am really liking the discipline and impetus that FO Friday (see more lovely things over at Tami's Amis) gives to me: as it's addictive, I rarely have trouble sitting down to get on with some knitting, but FO Friday means I tend to do just those few rows more, so things get completed in a timely manner.

You'll remember I started a scarf for Uber-Cool Brother; made from BFL sock yarn in the colorway 'Sunday' (lavender/grey/blue tones) bought from Laura at Abstract Cat, using the Flame Chevron stitch pattern; after fabric conditioner, it is much softer, and blocked out quite nicely. I thought it looked a little ... abbreviated ... so I added a fringe:








































Just because I'm not talking about today being the 10th anniversary of my mother's death doesn't mean I'm not thinking about her all the time today.

    The fringe definitely makes that scarf work nicely. Good idea!

    I love the yarn for the scarf, and the fringe really sets it off :)

    Wishing you many happy memories of your mother, thoughts are with you.

    I like the scarf and the fringe is nice. I loved today's 8 of pentacles card. Very kitschy.

    The scarf turned out lovely, looks very soft. Keep your Mom in your heart and tell stories about her to others.

    Beautiful scarf! The anniversary of my mom's death just makes me teary-eyed on top of already thinking about her all the time. I hope you don't have that problem. I'm sending you good wishes (though days late). :)
