A while ago, after stashing soo many wonderfully pretty yarns, I decided to make a rather different scarf, which was an 'homage' to one my friend Stephanie Dosen (Tiny Owl Knits/Owl In The Dark Blogspot) made and posted on her Ravelry page (for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's a knitters forum! LOL)
Anyhow, mine turned out quite different, but hey, it was mean't to be freeform anywy, so after making another rather glorious scarf, I decided that I should put this one up for sale, given that the pretty pink shades were perfect and it is the month of October, so it seems fitting to donate 100% of any money made to the 'Breakthrough Breast Cancer' charity.
The yarns I used were the following....
PATONS MOONGLOW - 01/WINTER WHITE
ROWAN ROMANCE - 091/TWINKLE
PATONS SHIMMER - WHITE
RYC LUX - 01/PEARL & 03/CASHMERE
ROWAN COCOON - 01/POLAR
SIRDAR ZANZIBAR - 825/TURKISH DELIGHT
PATONS COAST - 03/TUDOR ROSE
ROWAN KIDSILK NIGHT - 607/STARLIGHT
FEZA ‘ALP DAZZLE’ - 506/CREAM
ROWAN BABY ALPACA - BABY PINK
DROPS VIVALDI - 01/WHITE
CRYSTAL PALACE PARTY RIBBON -STRAWBERRY PINK
RYC LUX - 03/POWDER
LANA GROSSA PEP - 201/WHITE GOLD
As you can see, it's a bit 'out there' and different, but that's what makes it special I think!
I've tied it in random places to make it look a bit different, and have added a number of embellishments like crocheted bows and flowers as you can see in the detailed pictures here....
And to add the finishing touches, I crocheted the edge and added tiny little Tibetan Silver angels wings, which seemed rather appropriate for a scarf named 'Angel Delight'!
This item is now for sale in Ebay and you can see the listing here....
