Malabrigo = Yarn heaven

Yes, I'm in love with this yarn. Do you remember me rambling about what to do with my Malabrigo yarn? Thank you for sharing your thoughts about what to do with it, it was helpful! I bought the yarn for socks and in the end I changed my mind. This yummy yarn is going to be worn as a scarf:


This is also my WIP wednesday project to share with you all. 

The pattern is called Favorite Scarf Ever by Lisa Bruce and can be found on Ravelry for free (isn't the internet a wonderful place?). 

The yarn I used is of course the Malabrigo Sock yarn and I use my new knit pro circular needles size 3.5mm. They knit like a dream. 

Anyone else ever used malabrigo? It's my first time and although it's far from cheap, it is really worth it. 

Of course the Beekeeper's quilt is been growing too, I made 7 (hooray!) but I send 3 all the way to Canada for a hexipuff swap! If you want to join check the Tiny Owl Knits forum here. I can't show pictures since I want it to be a surprise for the receiver so I will show a few that were just made for me:




Do you like them? 


Can't wait to get a full basket of these little squishy guys. Thanks for stopping by, see you all next week!

Edit: It is Wednesday, so you can now check the other WIP Wednesday projects at Tami's Amis!

  1. And what a lovely scarf it is going to be! Nice choice. Good luck with those hexipuffs. I don't think I would have the patience to get started on those. They are rather lovely though. Nice colours.

    1. Thank you! Well, they are more like a side project. Always another project on the needles that can be finished quickly haha.

  6. Ooh, je sjaal wordt mooi!
    Ik denk dat het een goede combinatie is, dat patroon met dat garen. Mooi!
    Is het moeilijk?
    En je discodip hexipuff is echt te leuk.

  8. Such a gorgeous scarf, and I can see why you'd want to make something that you can show off using that yarn - almost too pretty to be socks!

  9. What a beautiful scarf. Do you think the pattern would be suitable for a beginner? I have knitted a couple of hats and know how to knit purl, and increase and decrease ( sort of).

  10. I think you're wise to use your Malabrigo for a project that won't be so hard worn. It's a gorgeous yarn but it wouldn't be my first choice for socks. Lovely scarf!

  14. Disco dip.... absolutely inspired!! I love it! I've taken to adding things to mine at the moment like felted flowers.... it's going to be an interesting and probably slightly bumpy quilt this end!! x
