"After"

Here's the more neat looking scarf+gloves after their bath - ready to be presented in public. This set was made from Knittery's merino 4-ply fingering, colorway is "Passionfruit". A lovely yarn, (and a nice reduction of the stash).

As you may notice, the scarf is "Lace Ribbon Scarf" (Knitty, Spring '08) by Veronik Avery, further embellished by some plump, pink pearls. I've made this scarf already twice (the other version with a thick cotton yarn) - it's such a handy and easily remembered pattern, and produces an airy looking wrap around your neck.

The gloves are my own 'design' - wrist is following the scarf pattern, otherwise the hand-part are carefully mathematically calculated (i.e. just go along as you please, making the fingers more or less the correct size). Here's a close-up of the lovely pearls once again:

Voilá!
