In preparation for my move back to the Great White North later this week, I decided to crochet myself a new neckwarmer. I used my Diamond Lattice Neckwarmer<\/a> pattern and a cosy merino-silk blend yarn, and look what I ended up with…<\/p>\n

Don’t you just love it? I do!<\/p>\n

I was a bit worried about the wool content in my yarn, especially around my neck where I’m extra sensitive, but I gave it a long soak in my favourite Soak Wash<\/a> (just in case) and, after blocking and drying, I can report that the yarn is soft and not at all scratchy on my neck. (It’s KnitPicks Gloss DK Yarn<\/a> in Velveteen, in case you were wondering…)<\/p>\n

As the finishing touch, I discovered I had two adorable hazelnut buttons in my button box:<\/p>\n

(I have no idea when\/where I bought the buttons, but aren’t they amazing? So realistic!)<\/p>\n

And now I can demonstrate that this is truly a unisex pattern. It works so well for men or women…<\/p>\n

I can attest that it works up really quickly, and it was fascinating watching my cable design taking shape – I designed it so long ago, it felt completely new to me, even though I was following my own pattern.<\/p>\n

Hi there!<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s so nerve-wracking changing my photo everywhere, but I really don’t look or feel like the me in the old photo any more, so it’s time to be brave and freshen things up with a photo of the 40-year-old me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
