This yarn had marinated and waited for a perfect project over a year until I knew one evening what to make out of this. I had just knitted fingerless mittens for a friend as a birthdaypresent so I wanted the same fingerless for myself out of this yarn.

The fingerless didn't required the whole skein, so I had 50 grams left. I definitely wanted to have some kind of scarf. First I was thinking about Baktus, but came in second thoughts, becuase I wasn't sure if I had yarn enough. Then I started to knit some basic scarf with eyeholes, but after few rows I ripped it and ended up to crocheting the similar one with two-ply yarn. Well that required so much yarn that I ripped again and crocheted the same with only one-ply yarn. It didn't look good so I ripped again. The garter stitches on the fingerless looked so beautiful that I wanted to have same kind of surface on my scarf so I finally ended up with knitting.

After zillion experiments I found the perfect needle size, which was 12 mm. Now the scarf looked just like I had imagined it, perfectly airy. Because I have seen tubes everyone I wanted to have one too. I knitted garter stitches up to whole yarn was used, the last row is made with kitchener stitches. If I want this tube to be tight around the neck, I wrap it three times, two times is perfect for a bit looser look.
Näistä tuli aivan täydelliset ja tämä lanka on just eikä melkein minua! Rock -henkeä, hentoa kimalletta ja lisäksi lanka koostuu lempiväreistäni: turkoosista ja punaisesta. Kaiken lisäksi nämä ovat uskomattoman pehmeitä ja kevyitä! Ehdottomasti tulevat olemaan uudet lempiasusteeni.
This set is so perfect and the yarn is so made to me. A bit of rock'n'roll, a sight of sparkles and it combines my favorite colors: red and turquoise. And above of all; these are so incredible soft and light! They definitely are my new favorite accessories.

Hauskan näköistä lankaa ja lopputulos :)
Kiitos :) Lanka oli Etsystä ostettu (kauppaa ei enää ole), kyseisen henkilön itse kehräämää. Langassa on tosi kiva rakenne.
Hienot kynsikkäät ja kaulahuivirinkula! Haaveilen tekeväni sellaiset itsellenikin... jos nyt kohta aloittaa, niin ehtii hyvin ensi talveksi :-)
