I'm not aware of a link between my environment & stuff I make. I mean I notice stuff & appreciate it but I don't add drawings of nature to the moleskin. Once I finished the scarf (it turns out Sunspun did have one more ball), I thought it looked just like elm leaves I picked up last week on the run.
Our area is terrible for elm leaf beetle which is what has created the lace pattern on the leaf.
Rowan Tapestry is just a beautiful yarn & perfect for a project this size. I used a 6.5mm hook & used about 240 metres of yarn to make a 1.6 metre scarf.
I imagine this scarf would look glorious crocheted in yarn by Leah or Kate. I think that I shall try that next.
It's going to be gifted to my mother in law for her birthday. She is, by her own admission, the Imelda Marcos of the scarf world.
