Henry’s scarf

Henry models!

Henry was a very willing (but unfortunately not a still) model for his new scarf. Hence the photo… it’s atmospheric, not out of focus, okay?

What can I say about a stripey scarf?

I like to knit scarves on slightly bigger needles than the yarn would normally need, as I feel they drape better. I also knitted the odd garter stitch row to stop the scarf curling in on itself. And then I lined it in a soft pale blue cotton.

Henry loves it.

So, feeling very pleased with myself I asked Joe what colours he would like in his scarf. He gave me one of his looks and said “Can I get a black one from a shop?”

Joe is quite clearly not going to grow up to be like this amazing knitter (Tif at Dottie Angel has just found his blog too.) I would dearly love to knit his Hemlock Ring Blanket.

    ahh the wonderful Jared and his blanket…i have added him to my Orlando, Colin and Johnny list.

    multicolored scarves are just the job in the midst of a bleak autumn…and your model is just perfect 🙂

    Lucky boy! What gorgeous colours. I said to Mark – ‘Look at this lovely scarf – would you like me to knit you one?’ The reply ‘Granny is very good at knitting!’

    Do you think that’s a polite rebuffal??!

    wonderful scarf!!! And please don’t tell me you’ve got a boy who actually keeps the scarf around his neck instead of using it as a toy?
