“Vladivostok, Moscow, the Kuznets Basin and Cambridge – coldest places on earth. And of the four, Cambridge... permanently the 19th of February." |
So here's this week's “Knitting Ahead” idea: think of someone you know who lives in a cold climate and knit them something to keep them warm in the deep cold of January and February. This doesn't have to be a Christmas present of course, although that's always a good pretext for a gift. Cozy comforts are always welcome no matter what the occasion.
So let’s start with the menfolk in our lives…. Men generally like simple, muted colours in their scarves but with a lot of textural interest. I have quite a number of men's scarves already in my pattern store and have just added a new one, the Grantchester Scarf.
The pattern includes three different sizes so you can work a short neckwarmer, a good medium-sized scarf or a long wrapping style to suit whatever the new owner would like. Have a look at my earlier blogpost for lots of ideas on scarf lengths to see what might suit them best.
So grab your needles and send some instant warmth to someone you know living in Vladivostok, Cambridge or somewhere equally cold!! For more information about the Grantchester Scarf pattern, please click here and to see all my men's patterns, please click here. All the patters are available for instant download from the site so you can get going on your scarf knitting today.
I’ll be back next time with another blogpost in this "Knitting Ahead" series when I will be focussing on something beautiful to knit for the ladies.
Until then – Happy Knitting!
