My New Scarf Design

One day I went into a local clothes store. And the only colors I saw was black, gray, brown and burgundy. For those of us who does not look good in those colors it is annoying. But there are nothing to do about that.

Or so I thought. If you can not find any color that makes you shine - buy the closest and get your knitting needles out. Find those colors that gives your skin and face life. And knit a scarf.

The visit to the shop made way for my new scarf design, Dot the I.

I love dots and stripes and wanted to combine those two. This long scarf gives the impression of wearing two scarves.

It is a great new beginner pattern and an easy task for the intermediate knitter. You will also learn to knit a jogles pattern in the round.

I called it Dot The I - because we are all created to shine. This is the little extra to wear on gray days and when you can not find any color in the shop you like.

The pattern is free for download from Ravelry. If you are a member you can visit the pattern page here. If you are not on Ravelry you can download it here.

Dot The I is both in english and norwegian. Hope you enjoy it - and that you find the colors that makes you shine through a long winter.

    Så fint skjerf!!! Virkelig til å bli glad av; lekent med prikkene og artig med dusken i den ene enden! Du har gjort det igjen; gratulerer!! :-)
    Tusen takk for at du er generøs og gir bort mønster!
    Ha en fin-fin dag!

    I love it!!!!
    Et kjempeflott skjerf du har designet. Ogrjeg er som deg, elsker prikker og striper.
    Har også opplevd det samme som deg. En vår var jeg inne i en butikk der alt var pasteller, som jeg ikke kan gå med. Men mine farger hang på et tilbudstativ, vinterens farger som de skulle selge ut. Fant ikke noe der heller.......men som du sier: da strikker vi bare noe til oss selv istedet.
    Så har jeg enda en ting som må strikkes, på listen min. Thanks.

    Steinkult skjerf! Helt enig med deg, bare trasige farger i butikkene om dagen. Og ekstrabonus (strikking har i det store og hele mye godt for seg!) for miljøet: Hjemmestrikket skjerf er forhåpentligvis litt kortreist vare :)

    Bare en liten ting...er det nødvendig med både robotord og forhåndsgodkjenning?

      Skulle ønske jeg kunne slippe det - det irriterer meg at blogger ikke har bedre spamfiltre. Men slår jeg av robotord oversvømmes jeg med utallige spammeldinger hver dag. Mange av disse kan også inneholde virus. Forhåndsgodkjenning er for å hindre spam det også - for en del slipper igjennom. Så alt dette er for å slippe spam og virus på bloggen.

    Så morsomt skjerf! En ting var fargene som var friske og herlige, det andre var kombinasjonen av prikkene og stripene som gjorde det til noe mer. Det skjerfet vil garantert lyse opp selv den kjedeligste (sorte/grå) garderobe. -Kjenner meg igjen i at jeg finner lite som frister i butikkene. - I London hadde de derimot også en del oransje i butikkene. Det savner jeg her...

    This is a beautiful scarf! I quite agree that the clothing stores have entirely too many sombre options and not enough joyful ones. This scarf is the perfect remedy!
    I just found your blog when I was on Ravelry and I have been enjoying looking at your wonderful knitted creations, and enjoying reading your lovely posts. I will be back for a longer visit to your blog. Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity and good humour!
