* Second scarflet, fully blocked, atop a Gathered PulloverPattern: Anthro-Inspired Scarflet by Kim Seio
Yarn: Uruguay Chunky in colorways Sage and Red
Needles: US 8
Amount: ~ 150 yds
Mods: None for the green, added an extra inch or two in length for the red, ultimately I prefer the green scarflet's length
I love looking at Anthropologie sweaters and cardigans, but I know I will never afford that kind of stuff unless I win the lotto one day. And so I happened to stumble upon this scarflet on Ravelry that could afford me the Anthro look without the Anthro price. I finished this in mid January, but I'm not sure why it took me this long to blog about...
I love this yarn deeply, and I'm sad that it has been discontinued. The green was left over from my first Shalom Cardigan, and I ended up buying the red from a fellow Raveler.
And here is Anthropologie-Inspired Bobble Cable Ascot. Try saying that three times fast!

I love how similar this looks to the actual Anthropologie ascot seen here. I think Anthropologie even made one in this color too! It was a fun knit, but it came out a bit loose and big for me. :-( Most likely, I won't be wearing this out that much since the looseness really bothers me. If I ever make it again, I'll be sure to decrease the length so that it will fit more snugly around my neck.

They are both lovely and they do indeed have that Antro.
I find that prices at Anthropologie aren't bad as long as I stick to the sale items.
hey, these are very beautiful ! Love it.
