Pattern: Flora from Knitty.com
Needles: #8 bamboo straights
Yarn for the blue one is a wool/silk blend that I got from eBay. I have no background information on this yarn except that it was lovely to work with.
The scarlet scarf is made from Tilli Tomas' Simply Heaven, 100% silk in colorway American Beauty. Gifted to me from the wonderful Ali! Thank you, darling!Stamens on both scarfs were made by holding a strand of the main color with a strand of Noro Kureyon. The buttons came from my Random Button Collection.
I chose not to make the flower removable, since I did not trust the leetle buttons to secure it against random neck twitchings and double-takes.
And I'm thinking of a third for that single hank of candy-pink banana silk. And I have the perfect button for it too...

Those are really pretty. This is yet another example of a project that I never noticed on Knitty.com until I saw what someone had done with it. Yours are gorgeous, and the use of Noro is genius.
very cool - and good use of extra yarn. tks for your comment - you've done some great hats and scarves too - I scrolled down a bit and am inspired to knit me up a hat or two before winter comes back.
they both look lovely. i like that they are twins, yet different.
I agree with bookgrump. You've drawn my attention to a Knitty pattern that I may have otherwise overlooked. And your color choices are absolutely brilliant.
Those are lovely. To be honest, the picture of them on Knitty didn't do much for me, but your have enticed me. Maybe if I start thinking "Christmas gifts" now, I'll actually manage to knit some for people this year.
So pretty. I must have glance right over the pattern on Knitty. Great color choices!
These are so, so pretty! Very feminine and lovely. Nicely done!
Amazing... I didn't see this pattern either ;-)
Very nice accenting colors. Now I want to make some. I will add this pattern to my Ravelry queue. As if it is not long enough already.
Take care, Joanne
