Shades of Red

Last week I blogged about the design process for a scarf I was knitting based on the Fibonacci sequence. Well its finally finished and all the hundreds of ends sewn in :-) I decided to join it into a circular scarf as I was getting really annoyed with a scarf the other day that kept slipping off. When I'm out in my wheelchair it can be a real pain as the scarf, if too long can catch in the wheels and I got to thinking its got to be the same for cyclists..... so have been tweeting it as the ideal pressie for cyclists! But anyone would love it as its so toasty and soft. I also added an extra design touch of a white moss stitch band to hold the 2 circles of scarf together and this is the finished project, which is now on sale in my Folksy shop for £12.00



When I went off to list the scarf on Folksy, I had a look to see what the other December Elves had been up to and noticed there were quite a few red things listed, which would co-ordinate with the scarf, so here's today's selection:
Red Coral Branch and Cz earrings - NofKants Curios

Fairy Bag Charm with Red Accent Beads - Miss Bohemia

Slouchy Hat - Hats and More  
Vintage Ruby Red Earrings - Mia Scintilla
Scandinavian Patchwork Phone Cover -the Glass Mountain
