Thank you! It’s Lady Godiva by Handmaiden. Beautiful wool/silk blend.

Not sure if it's you in the photo, but I really dig the tattoos! Reminds me of sacred geometry.

It’s my friend (posted with permission), and that’s exactly what she was going for. Her tattoos are amazing!

That's a cool knit! Is the knit called drop stich? I have a few knitter's in my life that make me things from time to time and I'd love to request something with that pattern.

The pattern is free, so here it is. It's actually pretty easy to make, I hope your friends make you one!

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: yours looks even better than the sample picture on the pattern. You must be really good at this.

Omg, thank you. That’s like the best compliment for a knitted, lol. You just made my day!

Your scarf looks like a human being wearing a scarf

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You should be. That’s a pretty cool scarf!

Rainbow road - the scarf. πŸ˜ƒ Great work!

Did you intentionally pick the yarn to go with the purple thing your friend is wearing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Not at all - I actually didn't know for whom I was making the scarf at first. Then it called to me that it belonged to this friend. I went to meet her, and she was wearing the purple overalls. We both gasped at how well it fit with the scarf. It was one of those serendipitous moments!
