I'm back blogging!
I stopped a while ago because of illness and then I got Blog fright! I had prepared a post on scarves which has been on hold since then.
I've added to it and decided to take the plunge again.
The aim of this blog is to inspire and share ideas and free patterns when possible so I hope you see something you like and say, I can do that.
It's about knitting, crochet design , anything creative that grabs my fancy and whatever else goes into the pot.
Here is my post on Scarves.
Whether you like oversized chunky scarves for cooler days or a light lacy look for Spring/Summer, there is something for everyone here.
A Scarf is the best way to accessorize your outfit because it's versatility will enable you to be as creative in your fashion statement as possible.
Food themed scarves are her speciality

You could try making a granny square scarf yourself. I've added a link to the pattern below.
