Sugar candy broomstick lace scarf

Hello friends,
I simply love making broomstick lace weave. That was the first stitch that I learnt in crochet. I have been making them ever since I was a twelve year old, and I do not therefore realize how difficult it is because I find it easy, and my fingers have got used to making this weave. Here's one I completed this morning. Loved the transition in colors and the texture that it created.

Hope you liked this collage. The following is a closeup. There are times when I use the tassels and times when I make a crochet fringe. Tassels produce their own rugged beauty.


A colorful scarf as this adds that quantum of pop of color that can go well with any solid color sweater or dress. The lacy texture is a feature that makes this a great neck accent without adding too much warmth and discomfort.  It is so very delicate and light you can just roll it up and slip it in your bag to wear for the evening dinner just after work and look different from your work dress.


Until next time signing off now with lots of love and wishes
Shanti.
