I bought my kit directly from Anna Maria Horner's shop and then followed her blog post to make the scarf.
I love how the scarf turned out! It has velveteen on one side and voile on the other and is very cozy. It was very easy to make, even with the tiny bit of hand stitching that you have to do at the end. I can see myself making more of this style.
Since the scarf turns out rather wide, I realized that I could pull it up over my head and it could double as a little hood if I want. This will come in handy for all of my trips in and out of my car during the winter months.
Of course, now I want to get some of the voile that's in this scarf (it's pink and navy) and make myself a shirt with it....
On another note, I won a fabulous giveaway over at Pink Chalk Studio's blog. What did I win? I won a fat quarter set of Anna Maria Horner's Field Study. I chose the Patina colorway. I think that Kathy e-mailed me on Wednesday night to let me know that I won, and my fabric arrived today! Pink Chalk is a great shop (and I'm not just saying that because I won!). They are one of the few shops online that I order from because they are great to deal with and they ship very quickly, too.

I guess the cowl means that cold weather won't be far behind. It turned out really pretty.
I love ordering from Pink Chalk too. Your scarf is so pretty. I wonder if I have enough Liberty of London fabric to make one? hmm
Your scarf is soooo awesome! I think you should order that voile to make a shirt. You deserve it! :) Also - I can't wait to see what you make with that fabric you won! Pink Chalk is pretty awesome!
yay! now we all match! You should totally get some of the voile for a shirt it would be so cute!
Nifty neato. You always make the coolest things. :) I am working at expanding my wardrobe for church/social gatherings [read: not jeans or khakis] and I find a colorful scarf works wonders to change an outfit in an instant. I can just imagine all the fun I could have with one of these. And I love the two types of fabric you used.
Oh and I am just like you - I throw my scarves lightly over my head [they are for show really, not knitted or too warm] to keep the rain and the wind from messing up my hair and keep my glasses dry :).
It's official. I am my [beloved] Mother In Law. giggle
