Winter Walk Scarf Day 3 – Smell the Sea!

Welcome to Day 3 of my ‘Winter Walk Scarf’ crochet-along. Today, as we’re walking along and heading towards the beach, we can suddenly start to ‘smell the sea’! 😄🌊

The stitches we’ll be crocheting today are like gentle waves resembling the sea that we can smell on our walk… that salty sea air smell when you know the sea is not too far away.

I’ve found myself smiling a lot these past couple of days when I’ve popped onto my social media and seen all the wonderful progress photos being shared… thank you! ❤️

And here’s a round-up from yesterday’s photos! The first grid is from photos shared over on Instagram and the second grid is from photos shared in the Facebook Group

For those of you who have purchased the printer friendly pattern on Ravelry it has now been updated to include Day 3: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winter-walk-scarf

And yesterday evening was a particularly lovely evening to be walking along the beach… the sea was calm and the air was crisp and cold… feeling quite wintry!

Here are a couple of videos bringing the sea to you… but you won’t be able to smell the sea I’m afraid! 😁

When you head out for a winter walk, maybe you like to walk on your own or maybe you walk with loved ones, family members, friends or even a work colleague in your lunch time! When we head out for a winter walk we always have our Salty coming along and I’m sure lots of you will have a furry friend by your side too… 🐾🐾🐾

And here’s todays gorgeous yarn dyed by Kirstyn from Miss Moffat Yarns which provided me with the inspiration for this scarf…

Happy Crocheting! 😄
