August road trip through Michigan with B. If you have never visited Michigan, put it on your list! Michigan has beautiful parks and friendly cities.
Frankenmuth was toward the end of our trip. It is a Bavarian-themed city with a touristy downtown and a perpetual Christmas theme.
We stopped at a charming upscale boutique targeting older women’s fashion. We didn’t purchase any clothes, but found a yarn and knitting nook in the back!
Brenda was immediately taken by a sample scarf of black and soft grey yarn. Very long, and would make a great winter scarf. It also looked like a relatively easy project and an interesting pattern.
The pattern is Good People, available on Ravelry. Yarn is Emma’s Yarn Hella Hank in colorways Elephant and After Dark. Hella Hank is hand-dyed 80% marino, 10% Cashmire, and 10% Nylon.
I started at Christmas time, and completed it in mid-January. It was a great diversion and fun to knit. The hanks are 600 yards each, so it took a LONG time and resulted in a LONG scarf.
I’m pleased with the outcome – it is a very soft scarf, and very layer-able.
