World Cup knitting!
Sferruzzare Mondiale!
The scarf uses a lace cable stitch pattern of my own design-- it was inspired by the cable Norah Gaughan created for this lovely sweater, but I wanted something that was reversible. Most cabled scarves are definitely NOT reversible, which is too bad-- some of them are really gorgeous. But what really bothers me about cabled scarves is that when these scarves are photographed, they are always carefully arranged to show only the right side, which IMO borders on false advertising.
By the way, I love this yarn. It is Misti Alpaca Tonos Pima Silk (83% pima cotton and 17% silk); they call it "Hand Paint Tone on Tone." It has a really soft hand, a nice weight, and the color variations are subtle and pretty.
La sciarpa usa un modello "pizzo-treccia" che ho disegnato-- era ispirato della treccia che ha creato Norah Gaughan per questo maglione bello, ma volevo qualcosa reversibile. La maggiorparte delle sciarpe trecciate NON e' reversibile-- un peccato, perche' qualche di loro sono veramente bellissimo. Ma la cosa piu fastidiosa e' che nelle foto di queste sciarpe, sono sempre sistemate per far vedere solamente la faccia "giusta."
Allora, amo questo filo. E' Misti Alpaca Tonos Pima Silk, e molto morbide, con un peso piacevole, e le variazioni dei colori sono sottili e belle.

The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
