Travelling success


A long train journey gave me the opportunity to finish the second appliqué block for the London craft group - and the short return journey by plane saw another hat made for the winter sale. However, getting ready for the next journey I decided I was a bit bored with doing the hats, and chose to start a scarf instead - in a stitch I hadn't done for years (Tunisian crochet), adding a ripple effect (pattern from Ravelry) but in stripes of different shades whereas the pattern was in a single colour. Typical of me to make my first try at the pattern more difficult than the designer intended... There's a lot more work in the scarf than in the hats, too, so it would occupy several flights rather than the one-per-journey I've been doing with the berets.
