FO - Tilli Tomas Rock Star Silk Scarf

A project for me to keep!

Some of you may have seen a previous post about my graduation present to myself…

This skein of Tilli Tomas Rock Star. The color is Glazed Ginger.

I searched for a pattern and found this picture on ravelry.

So, I ordered the book that had the pattern…this scarf turned out to be quite expensive!

It took me about four days…a very easy pattern! I used size 6 needles…same as the pattern recommended.

Here’s the finished product. Please forgive me for some of the pictures’ poor quality. Brown is difficult to photograph.

As a final note, I think that everyone should indulge in this yarn. It was fabulous to knit with…so soft! And it feels great around my neck. I am so glad I splurged.

Thank you for looking.

What Scout said!

Thanks for the heads up on the scarf and yarn, I need to make something for my brother’s girlfriend, who is rather high maintenence.

I hope you’re finding LOTS of time to sit and knit, not worrying about school. You more than deserve a break.
