My Leaf Scarf is finally finished... The picture is not brilliant but it's the best I could do at this time of night.
It took me longer than anticipated as I run out of wool at the beginning of the last leaf. The pattern called for one ball of Felted Tweed but it didn't make it... Rowan must have been mean on the yarn measurement the day this ball was made...
So it is one FO out of the way for me... While waiting for the second ball of felted Tweed, I made some progress on Air. The first sleeve is finished, I blocked and sewed the back and fronts (I am a follower of the "sew as you go" method) and even managed to knit and sew one of the pocket flaps. It is starting to take shape. If it wasn't for the prospect of knitting another sleeve, I would be dancing by now...
Happy knitting!
Bonsoir Françoise,
Je suis surprise de voir que tu as eu besoin de deux pelotes pour l'écharpe feuille. De mon côté, je n'en ai utilisé qu'une (dans sa totalité) et il me semble que j'ai une écharpe de la bonne longueur.
Tu as du être déçue et impatiente de recevoir ta seconde pelote !
En tout cas le résultat est parfait et j'aime beaucoup la couleur que tu as choisie.

Your scarf looks lovely! What a shame that you needed a second ball of yarn. Now what to do with the remainder of the ball? Wristlets?
You seem on a good knitting run, how I envy you!

That's nice and I think the length is just-right, it looks like a 'scarf-let'. I really like the colour too.

Go on have a little dance, your scarf is really pretty. Go pop it back on and have a wiggle, you'll feel much better afterwards!

I love your leaf scarf. How will you wear it? As an indoorsy thing? Or with your coat?

Francoise! I love that scarf! How much more than 1 ball of FT did you need? I know I have some FT sitting around somewhere....
