Holiday Glitter

Simonetta

The Holidays are all about glitter

so I was pretty excited when I saw 

Louisa Harding's new winter collection

Simonetta.  

 I couldn't wait to try Louisa's Simonetta yarn

which has "glittery" metallic fibers
added to the kid mohair.

I was so excited about Louisa's new book and yarn Simonetta,
that I organized a Holiday Glitter Knit-Along
(in the Louisa Harding group on Ravelry)
as a tribute to Louisa Harding
and her new collection.

Madelena

I recently finished my Madelena  scarf for the

Holiday Glitter Knit-Along.

  If I do say so myself...
I think it's the prettiest scarf I've ever knit!

Today is the last day of the Holiday Glitter Knit-Along

and it has been so much fun! 
Knitters have participated from

England, Scotland, Germany, Canada

and the USA. 

I am normally a "flitter knitter" but knew I had to focus

and finish my KAL project by the deadline

 since after all, I organized it. 

Whew, I made it
(with a week or so to spare)
and even with doing my Christmas knitting.  

Teresa's Madelena Scarf

My knitting pen pal Teresa in England

joined in on the fun and

knit the Madelena scarf as well,

only in the two-color version. 

I loved how she styled hers

and wore it with a beautiful blue coat and,

of course, her wellies! 

Holiday Glitter

I styled my Madelena scarf with a vintage rhinestone Weiss pin

that adds just the right amount of sparkle

to the Simonetta yarn! 

Thanks to Louisa Harding...

I'm ready to sparkle for the holidays

and the New Year!
