Juliette Scarf

As light as a whisper, this scarf can be worn draped loosely or wrapped around a few times and tied with a gentle knot.

The border is constructed with an open texture that resembles a diagonal basket weave while the interior of the piece is stockinette.

The Juliette Scarf is one of my most recent patterns available through yarn shops, published by Swans Island.

One skein of Swans Island Lace yarn and a bit of easy-peasy lace gets the job done!

New Pattern: Syren Scarf - Happy Anniversary to The Wool Dispensary!

First, Happy Anniversary to The Wool Dispensary! Woot! It's been a yarn since The Wool Dispensary launched a gorgeous line of hand dyed yarns. This year's focus? A color collection based on fairy tales.

The Syren Scarf pattern was created to celebrate the new color collection. It's whimsical and pretty. And it showcases the lovely colors that Sam creates - 13th Fairy and Goblin City to name a few.

The Syren Scarf pattern is available exclusively via Doodlebug Yarn through October 2012. It will then be available for purchase via my Ravelry shop.

Featured Yarn: The Wool Dispensary Useful Poison, a fingering weight MCN blend. Colors: 13th Fairy & Goblin City. This yarn is also available at Doodlebug Yarn.

“But think again,” said the witch; “for when once your shape has become like a human being, you can no more be a mermaid. You will never return through the water to your sisters, or to your father's palace again; and if you do not win the love of the prince, so that he is willing to forget his father and mother for your sake, and to love you with his whole soul, and allow the priest to join your hands that you may be man and wife, then you will never have an immortal soul. The first morning after he marries another your heart will break, and you will become foam on the crest of the waves.” - The Little Mermaid, by Hans Christian Andersen
