#hallgrimscarf

Posted with @reshare_app • @johannaknits [translated from Finnish] I gave a knitting gift card as a Christmas present, and the recipient chose a black scarf 🌚 I stretched the boundaries a little and bleached the yarn to a charcoal gray melange, so that knitting would be a little more pleasant and the pattern would stand out better 😎

The model chosen was the Hallgrim Scarf, inspired by the Reykjavik church, whose beautiful, graceful patterns bring a nice showiness to even a dark scarf.

Model: Hallgrim Scarf @baldhillknits / @jamiemccanless Yarn: @hjerte_garn Natura, sw-treated merino wool @lankamaailma

Get @reshare_app • @johannaknits Annoin joululahjaksi neulelahjakortin, ja saaja valitsi mustan kaulahuivin 🌚 Pikkuisen venytin rajoja ja valkkasin langaksi meleeratun hiilenharmaan, jotta neulominen olisi vähän miellyttävämpää ja kuviokin tulisi esiin paremmin 😎

Malliksi valikoitui Reykjavikin kirkosta inspiroitunut Hallgrim Scarf, jonka kauniit, sirot kuviot tuovat hienosti näyttävyyttä tummaankin huiviin.

A knitting friend recently visited Tucson and stopped at Birdhouse Yarns. While there, she held up the tag of a shop sample she liked and took this photo.

Unbeknownst to her, it's my Hallgrim Scarf! It even looks like one of the KAL projects at Birdhouse Yarns that I reposted in March 2021.

I'm still grinning at seeing my Hallgrim Scarf on display five years later (thanks, Birdhouse!) and learning that it caught my friend's eye without knowing I'm the designer.

This just happened! 😮

Thanks to knitters in thirty-three countries, I’ve sold one thousand copies of my Hallgrim Scarf pattern!!! Time to celebrate. 🥳

In appreciation, all other patterns in my Ravelry store are 20% off from noon PST 18 Nov 24 (Monday) to noon PST 20 Nov 24 (Wednesday). No code required.

Psst. Wanna see the back of my Hallgrim Scarf? I usually don’t show the private side of my work, but it’s smoother than you’d expect from ribbing and cables. ☺️

Hello. This is my Hallgrim Scarf.

You might recognize the cable motif from Charles Gandy’s Hallgrim Hat and Mittens. I knit one of his hats and, Wisconsin winters being what they are, I knit an accompanying scarf using the motif and the result is this beautiful gothic or arts and crafts or maybe even Elvish looking design.

Charles liked the photos that I sent to him so much that when he came to speak at the Madison Knitters Guild, he asked to show my scarf alongside his hat and mittens. Later he volunteered his permission for me to use his motif in my published pattern.

I’m partial to natural colorways. I think that a lot of times it can show the cable pattern better, but it also looks really nice in long gradients or tonal yarn and in deep saturated colors it is gorgeous.
