What, Kilcarra again?
Oh sure, there are other yarns in the stash, but it seems to be a Kilcarra tweed theme in the run up to Christmas.
Well actually, this began in the summer months.
Warning: Brief Summer Retrospective Ahead:
Holidaying in the US, West Virginia to be precise…
Visit to Tamarack, a centre to highlight Appalachian arts and crafts…
Bought cool wooden loom…
Or thought it was a loom…
Turned out to be not unique at all…
Plastic ones to be found in any craft shop…
Arg…
Although the process is mind numbingly boring, I like the finished-just-in-time-for-cold-weather-with-loopy-chain-mail-esque-effect end result.
Okay, Kilcarra is pure wool, scratchy for some, and perhaps not the best yarn pick for scarves, but I suppose the powers-that-be have left me impervious to the irritation factor and it’s a great addition to the winter scarf collection!
nicely done! it looks very cheery!

Your stitching looks different than T’s stitching - are you using just one side of the loom, or … something different?

that is one beautiful looking scarf. Who cares about the scratch factor…Kilcarra is a lovely yarn to work with (and it’s Irish!!!)

I really like the look of the stitches and what a gorgeous color!

Lovely scarf. Knitting with the loom produces the same stitches on both sides, right?

It certainly looks very soft, even though Im one of those people who find it a little scratchy beside the skin, but perfect for other areas. love that yarn, and that colour is fab!
