I finished off my scarf the other day and it's worked out to be just the right length - which is lovely as I did have concerns that I didn't have quite enough wool to make it as long as I'd like. Although I wouldn't normally spend £15 on wool for a scarf, as I'd bought the Rowan yarn by mistake I thought I might as well put it to good use. The colour is fabulous - a deep, luscious mulberry purple - which goes rather well with my pink velvet coat that has flashes of pretty-much the exact same shade in the pattern. Only small problem is that it's so beautifully spring-like and warm at the moment that I can't envisage wearing the scarf anytime soon. Never mind, it'll keep until next autumn.
Your scarf is lovely...I really like that colour. I love knitting but have never been able to afford Rowan wool. I just go into the nearest stockist and fondle some occasionally and dream that if I had enough money...Weird, I know.
Thanks for the link to YouGov. I've just joined and hope to earn enough points for the £50. I've joined other surveys but got sick of doing them because I only ever seemd to get prize draw ones sent ot me, so fingers crossed for this one.

What a beautiful colour and you have such even, neat knitting. It will look lovely with a pink coat, but I do hope the weather stays spring-like for you and you have to wait a while to wear it.

Lovely colour. I've been wearing my barkcloth creation even though it's very mild at the mo.
