Seaside scarf

So this is the resulting scarf – it was pretty quick to do (all garter stitch) but was fun knitting with the different textured wool… The boucles and ribbons weren’t actually as tangly as I thought they would be – in fact for me it was easier to knit with than cotton (I’ve discovered I just can’t cope with pure cotton…. cotton mixes are better…)

Mum was v. happy as they are her favourite colours – sea greens and lilacs…

Loving the yarns in their balls – will the scarf come out as nice?
