[excerpt from Spin
to Knit
by Shannon Okey]
Two, two, two scarves in one!
Wrap it lacy or wrap it ruffly.
Stay-closed, stay-put button
closure gets extra points for letting you raid
your vintage button stash.
This versatile scarf suits
any amount of handspun -- it could be knitted
entirely in handspun, or just the ruffle, or
just the edgings.
Spin it and knit it your way. |
