do you mind if i knit: My "Sarah London Scarf." Hello, I've got something to show you! I have to come clean, I've started a crochet project, without finishing my last project. Shockingly undisciplined, I know. It's the scarf you see in the picture above, and it's a pattern I've worked out myself, inspired by someone who's crochet and colours I aspire to, Sarah London. She has a fabulous blog, which you can go to here. I don't know if you remember these photos from a past blog post? So, let's see, what have we above? Hmmmmmm, that's a few patterns to write up for you, isn't it? Anyway, back to the subject of the Sarah London Scarf. This is the first time I've done any of this major "figuring a pattern out" malarky, and although it's really only a minor bit of working it out, I still feel I've achieved something. But I couldn't have done it without Sarah's help. Talking about patterns, Sarah has beautiful crochet patterns available on her blog. And talking of colour fixes, aren't the yellow leaves above beautiful? Oh yes!
