Ruffle Trim Diversion

As many of you know, I do a lot of knitting as well as sewing. I found this amazingly unique "yarn" recently that turned into a very cool short scarf.



The yarn is really a lacy ribbon that, when knit through the edges, turns into a wonderfully ruffly concoction.



I just made a simple scarf to test the yarn, but it can be used to create a wonderful edging that can be sewn onto necklines, cuffs, etc. Fun stuff!

I love the idea of a ruffle for a knit garment. Wish I could knit! Thanks for your recent comments btw.
