Eighteen months ago Mark Hearld and I agreed to swap one of his lovely collages for a long knitted scarf-I don't know how he's doing with the collage but I still haven't finished my part of the bargain.................

The scarf has kept me warm over the past few weeks as it has grown and wrapped itself round my legs, reaching the floor. On some days it has also kept my Dachshund, Tallulah warm as she sits on my knee in the shop.

The pattern is a Kaffe Fasset design and I have used "cold' coloured peacocks eyes on a "warm/hot" changing ground. The scarf is nearly two metres long now and when finished I will
line it in silk and stitch bobbles into place at both ends.

It is nearly done now and I hope he still wants it.............otherwise it will go in the window at Verandah to sell!
