Double-knitting is really addictive. I really enjoyed knitting the StarLight shawl, and I’ve been planning a new double=knitting project ever since I finished that one. So this past weekend I cast on for this scarf on the left. The design is a stylized design, inspired by some of the patterns on Turkish tiles. And that of course reminds me of the fabulous Topkapi palace in Istanbul, which has more amazing tiles than just about anywhere else that I have visited. Topkapi palace was the home of the Ottoman Sultans for 400 years, and it’s clear that nothing but the best was good enough when decorating the palace.
So without further ado, let me introduce the Topkapi scarf. Once again, I’m using Wollmeise 100% Sockenwolle – mainly because if the strong colours. The blue is called Neptune, and the red is a Versuchskaninchen (i.e. a guinea pig colour, not one of the “official” ones).
