My First Finish for June

My main wish for June was to complete the red knitted scarf I started at the beginning of our holiday.  Happily, I can report that it was completed before we returned home last Wednesday.

Let's recap.

I bought this lovely red sock yarn at the Heritage Trades Trail back in early April.

I started knitting it while watching Mick play bowls at Cowra, as it was nice and portable.

I continued to do a few rows most days, but definitely not every day.  It was something I could work on while we were visiting friends and chatting.

I took just a couple of "in progress" shots while out and about.  Just a small taste of some of the places we visited.  There will be more as I get my posts written.

Rockhampton at the end of May.

This is at Moura.

And another at Carnarvon Gorge.

It was finished while having a lazy day near Warialda.  Probably all places you have never heard of.

Once back home it was time to style it on my lovely old dressmaker's dummy.

A bit of fun trying the different styles.  The first is how I will probably wear it most often.

Now it has been packed away with the other four I have made using this pattern.  You can tell that they work well for me.

That's a cheery warm colour, a good addition to your collection. Love the idea of photographing it in different places, makes a change from a stuffed toy or something similar!
