I begin with a scarf

For some months now I've been thinking about sharing my love of knitting with others. Living in a small town with not so many eager knitting acquaintances, I realised that this is the way!
I felt that I wanted to do it with a glamourous touch. I want to show the elegance and the glamour in knitting. It's a luxury feeling wearing your own handmade garments and accessories. And a lot can be made with a simple design and in an easy way, if you want to. Luxury simplicity rules in my world! But there can be exceptions of course... 
I think there are so many wonderful designers out there so very often I knit designs that I've found in books, magazines or on the web. But sometimes it's fun to develope your designer skills and create something own.

I love to watch beautiful things like clothes, jewelry, bags, books and much more. Dreaming without feeling that I always have to own them. Just to see a special colour, a shape or a pattern or smelling a nice perfume, makes me happy. Of course, the beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I'm going to show you things that inspires me and things that I have or want to have or want to make. Simply.

Here, where I live, the winter arrived late this year. But now can I finally wear my new scarf!
It is knitted in Rowan RYC Alpaca Soft (50% alpaca, 50% cotton, needles 6mm). It's a wonderful chunky yarn which, unfortunately, is discontinued. I found it on ebay after having bought the Rowan Classic, book 23, 'am to pm'. I like the structure of the yarn and several designs in the book. I love this scarf!
