Mind Change

The pillow or shawl or scarf dilemma changed 
after a shopping trip with my girlfriend.
We spotted some lovely shawl like scarves that made me think that the rose project
 from this post, needed to be a scarf/shawl instead of a pillow.
(Hey, I still have the gray roses...)
So this is what became of the blue roses that were once to be a pillow:
 A shawl/scarf thing, 
or a geranium frame? hehe.
This is last years geranium...can you believe it survived?
It's one of five that survived because of the NVO.
The NVO takes good care of the plants indoors during the winter. 
I am one of many Norwegians who LOVE geraniums!
We especially like them in our windows with lace curtains.

OK, OK back to the shawl/scarf.
(The geranium did give me the idea of pairing this scarf with red though.)
Oooooo...a combo I like: 
red and blue.
 From the back.
I ran out of yarn so the point is a little petal or maybe a heart. :-)
This entire project only took one skein of yarn:
The pattern is just simply the rose from my granny rose CAL,
and joined via the petals as I went along.
So super easy!
Can he worn tied or...
draped.

Tucked inside a coat collar would be nice too,
but the coats are put away for the winter (yee-haw!!!), 
so no photo of the coat option. :-(

But I like the back the best:
I'm walking backwards when I wear this, for sure!

Have a Pretty Spring day!

  10. Så fint skjerfet er. Lyseblått og lekkert. Det var gøy å se bildene av dere i bunadene. Jeg fikk lese Familien hjemme hos min mor i dag. Så fint stykket om din mor og den nye/gamle kjæresten var. Skikkelig romantikk. Din mor så virkelig ung ut til å være 77. Kjekk mann også. Håper dere hadde en fin pinsehelg. Klem, Drude

  14. Maybe you should get a mirror to make walking backwards easier! :) I can't believe it was made from only one skein! And the heart at the back is so cute.
