OLGAJAZZY

This idea was one of those “lightbulb” moments and I just ran with it. Ever since getting a gorgeous test skein of Tosh Merino Light in Cloak from Amy (Madelinetosh) at TNNA I have been thinking of what goodness can come out of it.. After some time and contemplation I decided to give this yarn a try and the amazing nature of the stitches formed Hari. This was just what I wanted and hoped for… Hari in translation from Japanese means “needle”, to me it’s a needle, spike, peak… which can be a fanthom once heavily stretched…

Knit simply straight following the continuous repeats, I had the yarn and stitches dance into peaks and valleys with a lovely zigzagged edges… what was most cool is that the make up of this is so easy.. yet I got the intricate landscape growing. Rhythm of lace making, which is not very elaborate, but can be a great training for your short-term memory.

In the end it had to become more than just a scarf.. By using several hook and eye closures this fabric is manipulated, morphed and naturally expanded its wearability.

Scarf
Long cowl – close the loop
Short cowl – twisted it once and close it in a loop, arrange around your neck
Snood – just close it in a loop by twisting once,arrange around your neck and head
Shrug, Shawl or Stole… as the design comes with 2 length and width variations – the wider one can easily become the later.

Yarn:
Tosh Merino Light – 1 skein for shorter-narrower version, 2 skeins for wider-longer version
