Fun with Yarn!

Recently, a friend encouraged me to just play with the yarn I have, to leave instructions behind and go with the flow - somehow that seems to be a theme in my life these days...
So, I took two gorgeous yarns (one from Italy and one from Germany) and played with big needles, yarn overs and even twisted stitches.
The result is an unusual, one-of-a-kind, artsy, beautiful and long scarf.
You can find this scarf in my Etsy shop - click here!

Fun, fun, fun!! Both the knitting and the result... I think I am getting the hang of just going where the muse leads me... 

Wishing you a most creative day!!
