I’m truly savoring every cold minute we have left to us, living in dread of the swamp heat I know will be here soon, but also trying not to lose sight of the coming loveliness of Spring. I am eager to trade in my heavy wool pea coat for a cozy scarf or shawl, and there is one that shot straight to the top of my list last week: Linda by Deb Hoss, from Quince’s Scarves Etc. 4 collection. I love the proportions of this thing. And the dense side fringe? Even better than how great it looks is that it’s very cleverly achieved.
I have the exact right amount of yarn left over from my Bellows. Wouldn’t it make it easier on me, when I must give Bellows up for the season, to have this to take its place?

Totally agree. This scarf in your O Balance yarn will look fantastic. Go for it!

Quince and Madder have been putting out so many great patterns I don’t quite know what to knit first! The Madder Spring Pleasures has my mind just spinning on what to make next.
Is this knit using a Chart, scary!!
Oh, don’t be scared of charts! This one is written and charted, but in this case it’s a tiny little chart and just knits and purls, so it’d be a great place to start — with the written instructions there to help you see how they match up.
I don’t know how you come up with new ideas every day! Even if I’m not crazy about the image/concept, it’s out there for us to consider. I salute you, Karen Templer!
I’ve never been a fan of fringe until I saw this scarf. Now I want ALL of the fringe!
Love the fringe… Oh! Just got the connection… :)
I just bought this cowl pattern…I’ve never done brioche stitch, and this is two color…but I’m going to learn, I love this! Christmas gifts will commence early this year!

I love the fringe on this! It definitely looks like it would be a fantastic transition piece :)
You had me at fringe! And it looks reversible with a very cool pattern. Can’t wait to see yours, Karen.
Okay I’m in, I bought the pattern and I’m going to try this. Very pretty color.
Much easier. Do it! I know it’s a must knit for me too because I can’t stop thinking about this scarf…Love Quince & Co.
I thought this was a vest at first glance and I was all for it. That fringe has me feeling some type of way!
From a Nashvillian, you will probably get use out of a nice shawl or light cardigan every day through the summer. They will BLAST you with air conditioning down there. ;)
