The finally finished Karius/ Baktus scarf in Shoppel Wolle Zauberball. This curls like crazy. After finishing it, I asked other Ravelers who also knit the Karius version of the scarf how to stop it from curling too much. The smarter ones did a ribbing along the edges, the others did not care or had used some thicker wool that blocks nicely. I tried it all, but only steam ironing seams to have helped somewhat.
All in all, it's a nice one. Eventhough I'm past the total obsession with it. I also do not find it that nice or special to gift it to somebody anymore...
That looks really nice, lovely colours!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have it, thanks! ;-)
ReplyDeletelooks lovely, don't know what you're on about..
I like it :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I think that curling would drive me mad! Looks nice and soft though!
ReplyDeleteYou can makes scones! They are super easy. There are lots of online recipes but this is how I make mine:

I think the secret is to eat them almost as soon as they come out of the oven. With raspberry jam. Yum!
I think it's kind of fun. I have a French friend who wears this insanely long scarf that curls like crazy even though it's a store-bought scarf. She just wraps it around and around and around her neck so it looks like a cowl (like your first photo). It's really chic. :-)
