I Heart My Scarf A Thousand Times

There are over one thousand hearts on this scarf in alpaca wool. Well, it took some time to get the two meter long scarf finished knitting on tiny needles. But, I´m so happy about how it came out.

I like the colors and the feel of it around my neck. Alpaca is the highlight of yarn: Soft, varm and nice to look at.

I chose eight colors and after one meter I turned the colors around. What was the pattern color would then be the background color.

That way, it would look like I´ve used a lot more colors. At least it does to me. I knitted in the round - my favorite.

After hours of thinking and trying different ends to the scarf, I ended up crocheting a border. Quite simple, but it made the effect I wanted.

I was so inspired after making my alpaca scarf with all the dots on that I found out that this would be fun to make. And it was.

I love knitting and everything about it. Standing in front of all the yarn in my local shop I get so excited. An enormous amount of possiblities goes through my head. So much yarn and so little time...

I get so happy when I´ve finished a piece and can nearly not understand that I made it. That´s the wonder of creating isn´t it?

And now this scarf has been featured as number one (out of 66) in "Yarn it all" - and I´m so blessed!! Check it out here. Thank you so much Mandy for this honor!!!

It speaks to people in so many different ways. Even to us who made it. Let´s create and make the world a nicer place to live.
