Mixing and matching...

I needed a little change of scenery and have had some great fabric sitting here for weeks and wasn't quite sure what to do with it. A couple of nights ago, while half asleep, I decided to try my hand at a patchwork scarf. Of course I couldn't do it straight away as the fabric needed to be washed, but I'm sure it benefited from the delay, which meant I was actually awake when making it. Anyway, I'm really happy with the results of the first one! Oh and if anyone is interested, the fabric is Amy Butler 'Gothic Rose - Turquoise' from the Belle range, with a little 'Oxford Stripe - Lime' from the Lotus range, and a few other odds and ends. The back of the scarf is an acrylic boucle. And last but not least, there's a zippered pocket at one end... Good for keeping tissues etc in when the winter sniffles kick in.





There is another one on the way, as soon as the next lot of fabric dries...
