2007 Scarf

This is 2007. The team has a new jersey, so i'm making a new scarf.


For those interested, the structure is apparently referred to as "textured rib". Essentially, the rows alternate between K2(P1K3)P1K2 and (P1K3)P1 where the stuff in brackets is repeated as many times as you feel is warranted. I've gone for a total width of 29 stitches.

2006 Scarf

This is the start of the scarf i made last winter. This was what it looked like on the first of May.

As i am a fairly avid fan of the Brisbane Broncos, i decided to make it in team colours. The two white stripes either side of the large gold section (and the navy blue stripes between the gold and the white) are similar to the vertical stripes of the team jersey.

Shop window

The good thing about shops is getting ideas and seeing how things work. The other day i saw what i thought was a neat-looking scarf. (sorry about the reflections)

While i wouldn't necessarily get that scarf - or even make one the same - i like what they've done - getting one of those wools that is a blend of two colors (in this case white and grey) and interspersing a solid colour of the same theme (in this case black). I may try that kind of design at some point.
