It didn't take long I used 12mm needles so It knitted up real quick.

Wow! Rocking scarf! My mum made me one (just like that but in blue!) for Christmas last year, it's tempting to join in and pretend I made it......

In which case I prolly shouldn't have told you my mum made it......

Wow! I'm impressed, at this rate even I'm going to be having a go a knitting (well, I have got lots of wool that I weave with so I'm not short of that!) :-) (Dont' hold your breath chaps!)

For the wool try wilkinsons or home bargains they tend to do a lot of the "fancy wools" at a reasonable price!!

[seaspirit]

We don't have a wilkinsons in Cornwall,the 'wool' I used in Abbies scarf cost just over £1 a ball from a little wool shop in St Austell. I only used two balls so still think it was a bargain.

[suzi]

same price as what i paid for the wool that i am using too then! LOL

[mummyhill]

Wilkos were doing the fancy wools on a buy one get one free the other week. not sure if they are still doing that. Also Aldi and Lidl sometimes have wool in at fairly reasonable prices. Charity shops can be good too.
