Hello knitters!
As I mentioned yesterday, I have a second design within the new Fall with Sweet Georgia collection, the soft, warm and squishy Harlequin Scarf. Really, you ought to follow the link above and dash over to Ravelry to have a look at the entire collection. Every item is gorgeous, AND there’s a nice little sale going on too…buy 2 get 1 free! Use the coupon code FALLSGY4, sale ends Monday, September 24.
Jumbo diamonds etched in double moss stitch emboss the surface of this over sized scarf. At 14” wide and 64” long, the Harlequin Scarf allows for several thick wraps around the neck while still leaving lots of gorgeous fabric and fringe for trailing ends. The reversible diamond pattern, good-looking from both sides, is echoed in double knotted fringe.
Looking at the back side of a scarf when it is worn has always bothered me a little, especially if the item is especially wide and long. I love that Harlequin is truly reversible and looks great from both sides. Worked in the snuggly softness of Sweet Georgia Superwash Worsted, this generous scarf is a quick knit and because it’s worked entirely of knit and purl stitches, the Harlequin Scarf can be enjoyed by knitters of all levels.
And I am IN LOVE with the color, Cayenne, one of the many hot new colors from Sweet Georgia this fall. It’s going to look amazing on superknitter MaryJane (labjane on instagram) who knit the Harlequin sample. MJ “knitted on through all crises” while we were confounded at every turn by Canada Post and USPS! I loved getting MaryJane’s progress reports and photos during the making of this handsome piece, so I was delighted when she sent me this:
…actually shooting the photos at Aperture Coffee Bar in Vancouver! Thank you, Josh Yong, for the fabulous photos! I thought it was so sweet and amazing that MJ’s sister helped her to attach the lovely double knotted fringe! I think those sisters did an awesome job. Thank you so much for your expert work, Mary Jane!
I’m pretty proud of my talented friends and really grateful that they call me friend! Oooh! Just one more thing! Be sure to tune in tomorrow because I have a brand new release for you! It’s the Juniper pullover, quick, easy and just right for fall. It’ll be FREE for 24 hours so be sure to check for it…likely, I’ll be releasing it early in the afternoon. See you then!
