Enchanting


I had started this as a stash busting project. This multicolored yarn (Sirdar Click) was lying in my stash since a long time. Started making a drop stitch scarf with it, but it looked really bad in the pattern.



Tried 2 or 3 other patterns as well. But was not very happy with the look. Then found Enchanting. It looked fine but I did not have enough yarn to complete it. By this time my Mother fell ill and I did not have time to look for other patterns, and I really needed mindless knitting to reduce the stress. So picked some merino wool from my stash in a hurry and took it home with me. 


I am happy with the final product. The drape is lovely.


And I really love the bobbles in the edging. Found this easy and wonderful tutorial to make bobbles.
