I knit each of them a Wingspan scarf out of Loops and Threads Woodland yarn that I got on clearance at Michael's. I just fell in love with this yarn because it was on clearance but also because it reminds me of Kauni yarn the way it slowly changes color. It has a much softer hand that Kauni which feels coarser and itchier. I literally bought bags and bags of the stuff. This is a a jewel tones colorway that looked like Brenda.
This is the more neutral palette I used for Melissa. Years ago I knit a taupe ruffle scarf for her after she mentioned she'd had one years before and loved it but lost it somewhere. This colorway reminded me of that scarf. The pattern calls for 8 scallops but I made these a little longer with 11. In all honesty, I think this would be better even longer and next time would do maybe 13 or 15 scallops.
These photos were taken on the bed of our hotel room because I raced all week to finish them in time for the weekend and literally wove the ends in that evening in the room. Here is a close up of the color changes. I've already started another one with a different colorway just to see what it is going to look like!
