Risking my life...

to bring you today's post. In case you're wondering, read here. It's a good thing she lives on the other side of the pond, because she might try to tie me up with that yarn of hers. Uh-oh, I seem to remember (vaguely) that she might have a voodoo doll.


Baktus scarf
freebie pattern here (ravelry link)
yarn: Kureyon Sock Yarn by Noro, color #S188
1 skein: 100gr/420m
needles: size 3 straights




If I go missing, knock on Annemarie's door first..... But I do believe I'm safe, last I checked she was contentedly slurping coffee and stitching ;)

    Oh Staci, it is just beautiful. I could use a scarf today as they are calling for snow in our little part of the world.

    Apart from oodles of talent, you also happen to possess an uncanny memory... I do indeed own a voodoo doll :o) Have no fear,though, I won't be using it on you. You're too much of an inspirator and all-round nice person. Annnnnnnnnd... I made some changes here and there and, well, I'm planning a blog post tomorrow about a certain new start (no finish yet).

    I love, *love*, LOVE this Baktus. Beautiful colours. Do I see any more Baktuses/Bakti in your future?

    Hi Staci,

    This is a beautiful scarf!! I love
    how the colors flow one into another.
    Actually it looks like a combination
    of scarf and shawl which is pretty
    neat. I've never seen anything like
    it before.

    Just read Annemarie's post. Oh dear!!

    I can understand her frustration
    because my dear Staci you make it
    all look so easy and doable. Plus
    you are super quick with starting
    and finishing these things. You've
    even got me thinking about taking a
    knitting class, and I've got ten
    very big thumbs to work with. Shame
    on you!! :)

    Your French Valentine looks
    amazing! That V is such a
    brilliant design. And your new
    scissors are fantastic! I am
    particularly enchanted with the
    pair on the left which sort of
    look gothic to me.

    It's nice that you're going to
    finish off the two "old"
    Valentine's designs because they
    are so sweet and it's a shame to
    leave them unappreciated in a
    drawer. Can't wait to see what
    you'll do with them.

    Cheers!
