You'll never see things the same way

When I go shopping or see people’s clothes and bags I never look at them as I used to. Now when I see something instead of thinking ‘ohh, I like that’, I look and say ‘ohh, I wonder how you make that!’ I look at the little details and try to figure out how I can replicate it. I got the idea for the next scarf I made from a cardigan that my niece had. I liked the pattern of the knitting so I had my mum have a look and try to figure out how I could knit it. Not sure that it reproduced exactly as I had seen it but I loved the pattern none-the-less. I made this scarf, in November, for my sister-in-law’s Christmas present and couldn’t wait to give it to her. I had originally looked for chunky charcoal grey wool, but I couldn’t find any that I liked and when I did find some it was really itchy, which isn’t good for a scarf (not very snugly). So in the end I got, what I thought, was black and grey flecky wool, but the more I knitted the more I thought it’s more blue and black.
