Getting into the Groove

Let's cut to the chase, no romance here, my goal, 10 new pieces created in 10 days.....Can I do it....?.Well just to make things difficult, the first one is a set hat and neck scarf...



I am working through this in grey/black/cream tones in tweed, with just a pop of red. I want the focus to be on the stitches and construction rather than colour.

Hat is finished....just the seams to weave in.



I'm going in a different direction with the neck wrap, I thought it would be a straight rectangle, exact match under the hat, but then I started thinking that it would fit better with an angular finish, but I didn't want it in the ripple design. Picking up at the edge I started short rowing, adding button holes and we'll see how it turns out...I am committing to two versions, just in case



I think wrist cuffs might be in order as well.

Keep you posted.
