Before I went to the UK and Germany in August, I completed quite a bit of scarf knitting, to add to the ones I'd already made so that I would have some gifts for the friends I was meeting and staying with. Using gorgeous hand dyed and small batch made local yarns, I knitted these 3 scarves...
Above is my favourite go to pattern, of the two leaves, which interlock to form a lovely neck-warmer. The blue scarf is knitted with pure merino and the grey scarves are from a merino, bamboo and silk mix.
This grey scarf is using the pattern Speedbumps from Steepndeep designs on the Ravelry website.
For my quilting friends, I gifted either a collection of aboriginal prints or a patchwork pattern book with local icons by an Aussie designer.
In return I was lucky enough to have been hosted by these wonderful ladies and their families as well as receiving some fantastic gifts in return and being well looked after.

Those are interesting scarves. Do you have a pic of someone wearing one?
