The second of the three scarflettes you can win in the Fall Scarflette Giveaway Contest is Fireside. I knit this warm and striking scarflette using a bulky wool and acrylic blend yarn and a waffle stitch. There are two raspberry colored buttons sewn on with red thread to pull in more colors from the season.
The Chocolate Covered Cherry Scarflette is one of the three scarves you can win in the Fall Scarflette Giveaway Contest. It was knit from two strands of a soft angora yarn, one in brown and one in a dark red. I used a seed stitch to edge the scarflette and a stockinette stich in the middle. I used a burgundy leather toggle button to finish the look.
I'm happy to announce my first ever Ruffled Feathers contest! Yay!
With the fall season fast approaching (or already here, depending on where you live), I wanted to do something to celebrate this amazing time of year. Like many people, I'm always inspired by the changing colors of the leaves and the crisp cool breezes. And the only way to go out in the chillier weather to play in those leaves is with a new scarf in the season's colors.
So now's your chance to add a fall touch to your wardrobe with a new scarflette. What is a scarflette, you ask? It's simply a shorter scarf. All of mine have buttons so that they can be worn with coats to keep your neck warm, or paired up with your indoor wear for those who run a little cold.
I made three scarflettes for three separate people to win. (In the coming days you can check back on the site for close ups of each.)
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take a picture of your feet (with or without others), and upload it to Flickr. Then, add a comment to this post with a link to the Flickr pic by end of day Sunday, September 28. I will choose three winners from the entries either by how great the picture is, or if I can't decide, by drawing random winners. Winners will be announced on this blog sometime next week (hopefully Monday or Tuesday).
What are you waiting for? Go grab some great shoes or use this as an excuse to treat yourself to a pedi! Good luck to everyone!
I found this tutorial on how to turn fall leaves (coming very soon!) into roses. I thought these were really beautiful. I can't wait to try this when more leaves start changing.
I found the blog A Fanciful Twist in the new Artful Blogging magazine courtesy of Miss Lisa at work (thanks, btw!). The online pages are filled with pretty things that I thought were simply sweet to look at. Enjoy.
I love yarn, but it can be pricey. So when I come across a site selling nice yarn for cheap, I get very excited. Today I am very excited. Lavish Fibres sells alpaca (read: soft) yarn for not a lot of dough. Sweet! Maybe this will mean lots of wonderful Xmas presents to make for people...or another sweater for me. =)
