Do it yourself

Lately I've been really into DIY projects. I find so many great tutorials through pintrest and it really gets my creativity going. My latest project has been to crocket this infinity scarf. I have only ever crochet once before, so this was quite a project for me. I went to a yarn store and got some help with choosing yarn and after a lot of googling to understand the directions, I started. I finished it last night and I am super happy. I had to make some changes to the pattern (mine goes only one time around but it's higher) but all in all I am

really pleased. 

I used yarn of merio and alpacka wool in a warm brown, and even though it was a bit expensive, the scarf is super soft and very warm which was what I was aiming for. I will definitively use it a lot this winter! If you want to make your own, the directions are here. This would make an amazing christmas gift!

Autumn essentials: Scarves

My mom has always used a lot of scarves and I have grown up with admiring her colorful collection. I guess this is one of the reasons why I have such a love for them myself. For me a scarf is the perfect accessory. It can brighten up, add color to and complete an outfit, it can make you look more casual or more dressed up and if that is not enough it also keeps you warm!

I must admit that I have quite a few scarves myself, both light, silky ones for warmer weather and a couple of really warm ones for the cold norwegian winter. But even though I have a lot of them I actually end up using every single one quite a lot. The money I spend in a nice scarf is often a lot better spent than if I were to by any other item of clothing, because I make sure that one scarf goes with a lot of different outfits. Here is a collection of some of the scarves I have been looking at lately, but right now I'm making this crochet infinity scarf so I don't think I'll buy any new ones too soon...
