This one is using the same cheapie sock wool from Spotlight that is splitty and would not feel good on the feet, but makes a sptriking scarf, obviously in a green and purple colourway this time.
Slight variations from last time, where I followed the pattern completely - I made this one a bit longer. The pattern calls for eight wings; I decided to try for ten but ran out of yarn just into the tenth one, but decided to just cast it off straight away as I quite liked the effect of the little odd flap. This does mean that I didn't do the four rows of straight knitting before casting off before the end of the pattern, and that does show as it makes the cast-off edge a bit wonky. But I intend to wear it pinned together or scrunched up or something, so I figure it won't show.
I will probably make another one at some point, as they are so addictive, and then I will probably stick to nine wings and finish it properly.

Wingspan is SO lovely!!
What a good idea, I don't like their sock wool, though I did spy some Regia Kaffe Fassett there last week. I love the way the colours move across the knitting.
Lovely colours and ten wings works very well. I often think that these small scarves (is that what we should call them?) merit making a little bit larger, it's just that I am always in a rush to finish things!
