Mimic Scarf by Polly Plum

Zu Weihnachten habe ich für meine Mama den Mimic Scarf von Polly Plum gehäkelt. Schaut euch die tollen Farben an!

I made Polly Plum's Mimic Scarf as a Christmas gift for my Mom. Look at the gorgeous colors of the Scheepjes Whirl!

Ich bin kein Drapierspezialist, wenn es um Schals geht, aber mir gefällt er super und er fällt wunderbar in der Variante mit dem Scheepjes Whirl (Pistacchio Oh So Nice). Ich hatte nur ungefähr 190 Gramm von der Waldläufer-Weste übrig, also musste ich ein wenig früher aufhören. Aber die Größe ist trotzdem perfekt für alle Tragevarianten. Meine Mama liebt den Schal und hat ihn seit Weihnachten fast permanent um den Hals. Danke, Justina, für das tolle Muster! Ich glaube, ich muss mir auch einen häkeln.

I'm not a shawl draping expert and will never be, but I love how it turned out and how it drapes in the version with the Scheepjes Whirl (Pistacchio Oh So Nice). I only had about 190 grams left of the Whirl, as I used some of it for my Waldläufer Vest, so I had to stop earlier. But the size is perfect for several wearing options. Mom loves it and wears it almost constantly since Christmas. Thanks, Justina, for the lovely pattern! I think I have to make another one for me.

Plane Trip Scarf Nr. 3: Taaaadaaaahhhhh!

Mein dritter Plane Trip Scarf ist endlich fertig und nun kann der Winter kommen. Er ist sooo schön gewörden und vor allem warm.

My third Plane Trip Scarf is finally finished and winter can come. The scarf turned out so nice and it's very warm.

Die Farben sind so schön und man kann sie auf einem Foto gar nicht richtig einfangen.

The colors are so beautiful and the photos really don't do them justice.

Das Garn heißt Rico Creative Ito Iro Chunky.

The yarn is called Rico Creative Ito Iro Chunky.

Plane Trip Scarf Nr. 3/Plane Trip Scarf No 3

Ich bin verliebt.....in diese Farben!

Gestern habe ich von meinen Kollegen zwei wunderschöne Knäuel Wolle zum Geburtstag bekommen und mich hat es ind en Fingern gejuckt, sie gleich zu verarbeiten. Nachdem der Herbst nun auch hier angekommen ist, habe ich mal einen Plane Trip Scarf angefangen, aber ich werde wohl nur einen halben machen, da ich ein laaaaaaanges Dreieck haben möchte. Sind die Farben nicht toll? Das Garn heißt Rico Creative Ito Iro. 

I'm in love......with those colors! 
Yesterday I got two gorgeous chunky yarn cakes as a belated birthday gift from my coworkers and my fingers were itching to make something with them. Here fall arrived and the mornings get colder, so I decided to make a Plane Trip Scarf, but maybe only half of the pattern to make it a loooooooong triangle. Aren't those colors beautiful? The yarn is called Rico Creative Ito Iro. 

Hach, der Farbverlauf............

Love the color gradient..........

The Plane Trip Scarf: A pattern test for Zooty Owl

I had the honor to test Zooty Owl's new pattern - The Plane Trip Scarf. I used one of the new Stylecraft Batik Swirl Cakes (Purple Mist) and the colors don't show very well in this grey German winter weather. They are several shades of light and dark grey and a really nice shade of purple, all with that "batik" touch. I would have loved to go out to the park or the historic city center and take some nice photos of the shawl for you, but nope. Raining and snowing. I made the scarf a wee bit longer than in the pattern (170 cm/67") and also used the same yarn to make the border (one of three Options included in the pattern), so the cake will not be enough for a second scarf. I also didn't add flowers (three flower patterns are also part of the pattern), as the scarf is for a girl, who is into heavy metal/gothic music. So nothing too fancy. I hope you like my version of the scarf. Pattern can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/plane-trip-scarf

 

The pattern is very easy and relaxing to make, so it might be the perfect last minute gift. I finished mine in three days. There are lots of options for yarn, length, borders and embelishment, so you can personalize it and make your very own Plane Trip Scarf.

Geburtstagsgeschenk/Birthday Gift

Der Schal für meine Nichte ist fertig. Und wie sich's für richtige Mädels gehört, in rosa mit Blümchen und schicker Bordüre. :)

 

I finished the scarf for my niece. And of course it is pink with flowers and has a stylish border, like real girls like it. :)
