A little story of . . . Liberty of London

I am venturing into sewing,   little by little,   because it overwhelms me every time I pull my sewing machine

Liberty of London fabric, June meadow navy from Drygoods Designs

Finally a nice store for my favorite fabric...

I wanted to make a scarf so I bought 2 pieces of 1/2 yard each

I washed the fabric, let it dry

Then iron it a little, with a mix of tap water and my perfume

Then I folded the fabric, right side face to face and sew about 1/2 cm seam.

Return the fabric on right side and iron again

Repeat for the 2nd scarf!!

Christmas gift, part 1

A little order for my friend's wife, long and large scarf and 4 colors, a little bit challenging, I have to say!!

✏ Hat, a little slouchy...

My own pattern, sorry I didn't take notes.

✏ Scarf, very long...200 cm, 25 cm large

My own pattern, cast on 43 sts, with US8 needles, hold 2 strands together 

Row 1, knit all

Row 2, knit 1, purl 1

Repeat these 2 rows until end of the balls 

then change to next color.

Once at the end of last color, bind off.
