Gill tested the pattern for this sleeve scarf which Bess originally made from a strand of Diva gold held with a strand of Oliver in beige.
Gill worked her version slightly longer which gives a fuller sleeve and looks fantastic on.
Using the light weight brushed Alpaca yarn Alaska in this gorgeous red.
A great topper to wear over a singlet or summer evening dress, giving an outfit a soft layer to keep the arms and back covered and warm.
Like a scarf yet easy to wear and move around in with sleeves holding it in place.

Feel good Friday…is all about stash busting satisfaction.
Jacqui has been using up her Cottonwood and Wren stash to create this gorgeous African flower sweater by Tania Skalozub.
Choosing a solid deep neutral to highlight the bold and bright motifs worked in the sleeves.
Completing the look by wearing her Bauer beads created in a Wool inn workshop using Noro Silk Garden. They too have been a hot item for her friends and family.
We were wowed by the colour pop sleeves and what fun to combine different shades in this simple yet effective little motif. Just like patchwork with a hook!
Jacqui has been building her skills in crochet over the past few months and has mastered many new stitches and techniques.
Jacqui’s smile and warmth lights up the class and we love sharing in her crochet journey.
