What was your inspiration?
I am totally addicted to self striping sock yarn, and not the fancy hand dyed, luxury fiber kind ether, but the commercial kind with harsh contrast and fun colours. I cant get enough of these yarns and if you want to give me a gift, guess what I would like.
Therefore my patterns often explore the possibilities of the self striping yarn and how you can get unpredictable results not knowing where the stripes will take you. Also I live in Sweden, where the cold winters always justify a fun, new warm-scarf pattern.
What are you most proud of?
The way the scarf just took control and decided on its own how it wanted to be.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Have fun, go wild, play with crazy colours!
