It is cold and wintry here, definitely scarf wearing weather. I really have enough scarves but that hasn't stopped me making another one. 
A nice little project that was soon finished, I knitted this one sideways using some of the natural Shetland I spun back in the summer combined with some kidsilk haze in a very bright orange. I usually go for muted colours so orange is a bit of a change but I like it mixed with the soft natural colour of the Shetland yarn.
It is knitted in garter stitch with a few rows of yfd k2tog to give it a more open feel.
I changed between using both yarns together and then a couple of rows with each one separately - really I just made it up as I went along. I am pleased with the result, it is so soft and warm.
With the scarf finished I have another little project started, this time it involves sewing. I haven't done much sewing (other than mending!) for years but today I am hoping to make some progress turning this little pile of fabric into a draught excluder.
A perfect activity for a very grey, damp, cold Sunday.

Hi Willow,
The scarf is beautiful... it looks so soft and snug. Good luck with the draft excluder.. i like the fabrics... they lend themselves to some nice bold embroidery.
Happy Sunday to you and thank you for the email. See you in the new year!
with love

It's nice to see what you are up to craft-wise. Your scarf looks lovely and I'm anxious to see the sewing project when finished. i have a very long list of sewing to be done before Christmas -- I feel it looming.
