Rose's Boomtown scarf

[vilakins]

I'm not really a fan of Rose, but I did admire her scarf in Boomtown, so I had a go at it. It took me a while to find a yarn with enough variegated colours, even though they’re a bit paler and ice-creamy.

I modified zbyszkoknits's pattern slightly. I'm not sure that Rose’s scarf is ribbed, but I can’t steam-block acrylic/tencel so I wanted some ribbing to

That looks amazing! What yarn did you use?

[vilakins]

I'm geographically challenged, so I was pretty restricted. It's an Australian yarn, Patons Zhivago, which comes in lots of variegated, self-striping, and solid colours. Most shops here don't stock much of a range so it was hard finding colours that suited.

Wow, very gorgeous result! I'm also interested in what yarn you used!

Thank you! It's an Australian yarn, Patons Zhivago, which comes in lots of variegated, self-striping, and solid colours. Most shops here don't stock much of a range so it was hard finding colours that suited. Some colours I thought were variegated turned out to be self-striping, but I like the overall effect.

That looks a bit more, ummm, solid? than the idea that I have for that scarf, but it looks quite nice!

o hai! Missed this one. I love the scarf, and thanks for the shout out, clever thing. xx

I love this scarf too: bright and fun, and much more my colours than Four's. Still, Four's with my leather hat will be great for any RP; I have a brown curduroy jacket that will go well too.

I've done some other scarves too if you look on Ravelry; I should do a LJ post with pics now I've accumulated enough finished projects to avoid spamming people with them.
