White + Rose

Brrr... Sydney's gotten colder since May has finally kicked in but I don't recall having autumn nights dropping down to 8ºC since the last two years. We (my family) never crank up the heater whenever it is cold because we just don't have the need to. Australian winters aren't too cold but it sure has fierce winds. Instead, we just layer up on clothes and bring out our warmest doonas (if you're not Australian, then it's a duvet). So since the weather's getting colder, I thought I'd do a post on scarves.

The scarf reminds me so much of Evan Biddell's Fall 2009. Yes, I know it's a little late but knits are always in fashion during winter. It's like the scarf came to life except Biddell's scarf is black. It's definitely a scarf suitable for Canadian winters, or anywhere else where the winters are very cold. This project would definitely be on my list of things to knit someday. If I were to knit this, it would be with very, very large needles and wool roving/tops. It's just a simple scarf, probably stockinette. It would probably be very ...
