Notes

I just love this. It works up quickly on 5mm needles, and it was fun to knit. Extremely easy as well, apart from organising three or four skeins attached to the work - but it certainly doesn’t look like something that was an easy knit. People ask, how did you do that? Did you really make that yourself? Heh.

The contrast between the fine and floaty KSH and the soft colour changes of Tapestry is just inspired. It is a textural and visual delight.

Can you tell that I like it?

I might even make another one in a different colour, and that is a rarity for me.

By the way, you might well be able to get away with just one skein of the KSH. I made the scarf just a bit longer than the pattern says, and I only needed the second skein for the fringe.
