get the flags out !
and from the other angle...
(yep, I've been cropping the old chin out..it wasn't good :) The pinky purple bit is round the back. It looks a bit turquoise on my monitor - it's not, it's a most beautiful sea green. Anyway you get the idea...
I know a couple of people liked the pattern, I linked to it in this post. If anyone else tries it I'd love to see the results !
I'm so pleased with it and can't possibly take it off now, it's too snuggly The wool was Noro Kochoran which is a wool, angora and silk mix. Shade 14. I knit it up on US size 10.5 's. I was stressing that I'd not have enough wool to finish - the ball was disappearing fast, bringing me out in a bit of a sweat at the thought of having to go and buy some more!
but as you can see my fears were unfounded.......quite a bit left from 100g/160 metres, so not too bad on the old purse really ! I may crochet a flower and sew it on as well...
Anyway.....hope you all have a lovely weekend...mine will be spent preparing lists of stuff to take on our up coming trip over half term.....Bright lights, big city...I'm a comin' (but not till next Friday, so I'll see you for a bit next week. Can you tell I'm excited ?!)
I want to make one! But that middle bit looks complicated?
Lovely result. I think I shall unpick Stella's moss stitch scarf and try this pattern....wish me luck!

Gigi - the middle bits easy (if I can d it anyone can)....I had to use a biro as my 'spare' needle last night as I was in bed and couldn't be bothered to go and find one..

Hi Asti,
Your scarf is absolutely stunning. I sometimes will wear a scarf around the house when it's just a little chilly and I'm too frugal to turn the heat up. Perfect.

the colors in this scarf are amazing! wow! did you knit the knot in the middle like that or did you tie it that way (forgive me if this is a stupid question...i'm new to knitting!). either way i love the way it looks around your neck.
