I had so many hand knitted scarves here, comes from being a crazy knitter – that I hung 5 outside our little steeg on the railing along side the road, and 2 on the bridge railing close by in early December when the weather turned and it became really really bitter and cold.
I wondered if anyone would take them as they were clearly there to be freely taken.
And noone did for several weeks.
Then they all suddenly went – all bar one.
My son came from Switzerland for Christmas arriving on Christmas Eve. He came in with the remaining scarf aloft – saying I think this is one of yours, you must have dropped it and someone hung it over the railing. That scarf has now gone with him to Switzerland.
I hope the rest went to good homes and keep someone warm and that the colour and the yarns brightened the day.
On the day before Christmas Eve we also took lots of scarves to de Schalm – about 25 in all. Thank goodness they are gone and I now have space for my new knitting here.
