Before I began the SDCs' baby blanket, I finished the Louisa Harding Rose scarf. All it needs are the rose decorations.
These are knit with Kimono Ribbon Pure, a discontinued Lousia Harding yarn. I've made about five of them so far. The pattern calls for twelve of each color, but I'll see how it looks as I go. To finish the flowers, I'll purchase buttons for centers and then sew them on to the scarf, maybe something pearly?
Twist Collective's Spring/Summer edition will be posted on Monday. I can't wait to see what the new designs are! What are you planning to knit for spring and summer?
I just finished two Baby Surprise Jackets for coworkers. My current projects are the Elizabeth R shawl from the Wooly Wonka Shakespeare in Lace club and Clapotis as a knit-along with my 10-year old niece. I''m not sure what I'll knit after that--perhaps fingerless mitts for Squam (in case there's a cold snap in June, like there was last year).

Such a pretty scarf and I love the flowers too. It's cardigans here for Autumn but thanks for the heads up about the new Twist!!

Lovely scarf - the pattern and yarn really work together well, and the little roses are so sweet!
I'm just about to start summer knitting now that spring is getting serious around here - two gifts, an adult cotton cable sweater and a cotton/blend cabled baby cardigan. I like to make baby sweaters size 2T, since you can always roll up the sleeves if it's a little big, for when all the other "new" baby gifts are outgrown.

Beautiful scarf! I love the variegated yarn. And the roses are adorable. Twist Collective is up and it is fabulous!

Oh, that is lovely! It almost makes me wish that there was a little more winter left. :)

I really like this scarf -- but I love the little roses. I've already added Lanata and Candlewick to my Ravelry queue (from the new Twist) -- don't know if I'll ever actually MAKE them, but I'd enjoy wearing them, that's for sure.

Oh, that is pretty. I can't wait to see how you finish it with the flowers.

Looking at the FOs on Ravelry, I'm surprised how many knitters don't add the roses. The roses are what make the scarf extra special.
I favorited several projects in Twist. Elysium is stunning.
