Red Boteh Scarf
See, although the blog has been relatively quiet, I have been busy behind the scenes. Now that the recipient has received her scarf, I can blog it!
It’s in the Lincraft Bamboozle yarn again. I really love the Boteh Scarf, and this one has come up a treat. I am so thrilled that she loves it, and that I got the colour and style just right! It’s a warm fuzzy feeling when you can brighten someone else’s day with a handmade gift. Hubby thinks that it brings good karma.
Miss Stella likes it too!
Edited to add: the pattern for the scarf is from Interweave Crochet Spring 2007.

Love it is an understatement - it is so perfectly perfectly me and you are just amazing. I am sending you all the good karma I can and i especially love it now that I know your sweet stella had a cuddle of it too.
P.S. Everyone , this was not a swap or a PIF or anything and lara and I have never met - she just made me something and sent it to me - How special do I feel and more importantly , how wonderful is she?

That is so gorgeous! You assembled it very nicely and I love the geometric-ish pattern. Also, I should try that yarn…

I have the pattern for this scarf and after seeing your entry I decided to purchase some Bamboozle yarn in ivory. I ordered 2 skeins but when it arrived I realized that might not be enough. How many skeins did you go through when you created the red one?

Hi Dawn - there is not much of the Bamboozle on a ball - it took about SIX balls to make a scarf! Good luck!

THAT is such a beautiful scarf. I am getting back into knitting after about oooo 10 years and am stuck on the scarf. I just think it is a fabulous item to try out new stitches and different yarns. Next on my list is to re-teach myself to crochet…
