spring...

It's supposed to be spring, but this week we got some of this:

And it was cold.  Just so cold.  So I decided to make something springy to lift my spirits.  I have been hoarding this Nani Iro Fuccra double gauze designed by Naomi Ito.  It was almost too beautiful to imagine cutting into.  I decided to make something simple that would let the fabric shine.  I made it wide enough to use as a wrap when it's not doubled, backed it with a plain double gauze with a subtle dot, and added yellow pom-pom trim I had lying around.  I wanted to do the pom-poms all around, but I didn't have nearly enough.

I also decided to leave on the selvage at the end, just for fun.  I don't usually put tags on things I make, but I like this, because it's a little nod to the amazing talents of the fabric designer, who is responsible for 99% of the appeal of this simple little scarf.

It is very soft and the flowers and cheery yellow make me feel happy and springy.
