Notes

Cast on after breakfast and cast off while the boys read the bedtime story. (Could that be a note of smugness? :D I even sewed it up and worked in my ends the same evening.. )

Used all the North, and have 2 or 3 metres of the multicolour left.

The Ushuaia has a fun thick-and-thin thing going on, which gives this more of a rustic look than it might have in a different yarn. The solid dark contrast yarn gives it room to show all its colours without them all getting lost in the crowd.

Quick, cosy and cheerful. Proper photos to follow, when I find the camera.

It reminds me of watching the colours being swirled up from the bottom of the tin of paint.

Or that insane blue ice cream swirl that you love as a kid and loathe as a parent..

Flat loop measures 75x17, rather like a looped scarf.
