Baktuseria

I, too, fell prey to the Baktus phenomena. However, despite reading the instructions to work it in sock-weight yarn, I tried it in bulky handspun. This is handspun that I was never really excited about. It ended up nice, but bulky. (Du-uh!). Although it gets cold in Melbourne, I don’t wear thick scarves, so this one languished for a long time.

Finally, I realised that it would be a perfect gift for my snow-field-living sister. So it has been finally blocked and gifted. I will knit this again in handspun, but I will choose something I will love.

And how do you take a photo of these things without a mannequin?

Pattern: Baktus
