A Blustery Day
January 30th, 2008 by SimoneSince today is a blustery day, I thought I’d introduce my new blustery day outfit:
Tada
I made the hat over Martin-Luther-King-weekend and finished the scarf a view days later while glued to my monitor watching 34 episodes of Heroes. (No, I never display compulsive behavior, ever) For the hat I started out with the instructions for the Twirly-Top Toque out of One Skein Wonders. I couldn’t figure out the lace pattern for the bottom part and just used a different one that was easier to read.
After I finished the hat, I had one skein left for the scarf. I used the same lace pattern for the scarf, which ended up too short to tie. Out came the buttons. My grandmother had thrifted them from some goodwill clothes. The buttons push through the holes made by the lace and can close the scarf at whatever height and in whatever pattern strikes my mood.
I can display all four buttons, just the daisies, a combination of a triangle and a daisy, you get the idea.
So here I am ready to weather the weather.
