Hello! Here’s an update on my Seventh Heaven Scarf from left-over bits of sock yarn. The first two-thirds are finished – the green-and-blue part.
The part of the scarf with the greens of grass, leaves and reed, and the blues of sky and water.
Now it’s time for the flower colours. Time for thistle purple.
Time for ragged robin pink.
Time for calendula orange.
And time for flag iris yellow.
I’m adding just a small touch of yellow, in a yarn with oranges and pinks, but it’ll be a cheerful touch at the end of the scarf.
I took all of the flower and landscape pictures during a walk in the Wieden part of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park. All but one – the orange one. The orange tip butterfly didn’t show itself, and I had to look to our herb patch for a splash of orange.
June is a lovely time to be in the Wieden, with not just many beautiful and rare flowers and birds, but also lots of damselflies flitting and dragonflies whirring about and sunning themselves.
It’s been far too hot to have a warm scarf like this on my lap over the past week, and the heat doesn’t look like letting up soon. I think I’ll put my Seventh Heaven Scarf on hold for a bit, although I know that’s risky – no deadline, out of sight is out of mind etcetera. I do want to finish it, though, so will keep it in sight.
Keep cool, calm and hydrated!

It looks absolutely lovely!
Thank you! It’s a fun and relaxing knit.
It’s so pretty! I love your thoughtful placement of colors, and I always admire the good use of precious bits and ends of things.
Thank you – I love playing with colours, and I’m rather surprised myself by how this is turning out.
