the red tweed scarf

I hope you all had a great x-mas ! Mine was fun and festive, but also quite tiring. I could probably use a week off now to rest from it all ...
Well, since that's not possible at least I can finally start showing you some of this year's handmade gifts. I knew I wouldn't have time to make a lot of handmade items this time round, so I decided sometime ago that I would make less (in number), for the people who I knew would truly appreciate them, but more personal (and I hope more special).

One of the gifts I made was this scarf. It's based on the DSQ book pattern, and I've been wanting to make one since I first saw it. This was one project that I decided to make by the book (or almost) and I think the result is worth it. I love the combination of brown tweed, wool, herringbone and the red toned japanese fabrics. So much that I had to make a second one for myself.





Here's me trying to take a photo like the one on the book, but not quite so successful ...



I can't really show you many more gifts, since most of them haven't been given yet (later tonight) but here's a sneak preview:
