My sister is vegan, and I get awfully worried every winter that she is going to get cold in those tough Michigan winters without woolen products to keep her warm. As such, I generally prioritize knitting cold weather accessories for my sister, as regular readers of the blog have probably noticed. This year is no exception with the recent completion of a new bamboo/cotton scarf for my sister. I first selected the yarn, Be Sweet Bambino in the color Seawood, at the Fab Yarn store in Tivoli, NY. I then tried the yarn in several patterns before finding the wonderful Ingrid pattern by Oceanwind Knits on Ravelry.com. I think what really made the yarn and pattern a perfect match was the bright and fresh green color of the yarn coupled with the leave motif of the pattern. The project details follow the first picture of the completed scarf.
