During the last year I became a little addicted to Wollmeise.  The colour variations in this hand-dyed German yarn are incredibly vibrant and absolutely divine.  When I discovered that I was “buying” for my cousin Sally in our family Kris Kringle, I decided to crochet her a scarf.  I started this in October, and it was completed on Christmas Eve.  Just cutting it a little bit too fine really.

The pattern is Solveig, and the yarn Wollmeise 100% Superwash merino in Campari Orange. As seems to have become my habit, I played yarn chicken with this one and lost. Luckily a Raveller came to the rescue and I was able to purchase an extra skein the week before Christmas. Hooray! This is a lovely cross between a scarf and a shawl, and it can be worn in different ways.

This was one of those times where I managed to match the yarn to the pattern perfectly. I adore the texture and the shifting colourway.

It was rather difficult to give this one away. Luckily, I knew that Sally would understand the work that had gone into it (she’s a knitter) – and she loved it!  More details are on my Ravelry project page here.
