Crochet Star Scarf progress

Just over half way with l think 19 stars left to make
I've added brighter 100% Merino centres to some of the stars to lift the darker colouring of the sock yarn
l blocked the first few l made to see how soft it was going to be
so you can see how they open up a bit when blocked (right hand side)

Not sure l've got the patience but it might make a pretty jacket

for the Star Scarf l'm using Gruendl Hot sock yarn, 100% merino in a plain colour for the centres and a slightly bigger 4mm hook than recommended but l tried the 3mm hook and it made the stars a bit firmer than l wanted
some might prefer the firmer feel though

Have a Marvellous Monday everyone
hugs to all x

  2. Suz, it has been awhile since I have visited your pages and all I can say is WOW to all you have been up to. This pattern is just lovely as are all the previous flowers and projects. My, how do you do it all, you got some elves tucked away somewhere? I do like your new layout, it does make past posts a lot handier to skim through. Have a great week.

  6. Ha! That one got through!!!!! I just spent ages telling you about my failure to make a knitted rope with a knitting nancy doll this afternoon at Annie's. We giggled but I thought - I bet Sue would have a way to do this in seconds. I think we need a web cam!! x Jo

  7. Ohh, that's beautiful Suz. Like the colours you use very much. I have made your star pattern in white with a little silver yarn, lovely too but different.
    Make it as a cristmas present for my mother, seven stars to hang down for the window.
    Have a lovely evening, greetings Truus.
