I received the next scarf in the traveling scarf journeys. This one belongs to a lovely lady in California. As usual I had several attempts to find a yarn or yarns that would blend in nicely, or at least not clash. I think I frogged my section three times and eventually decided to do something plain and embellish it, rather than use a multi-coloured yarn or mix colours in a pattern. So, I chose black chunky shetland wool as the base, and used merino wool for the flowers and leaves. The scarf’s owner wants it to be mostly greens and blues so that’s what I used for the embellishment. I hope my friend likes the result. Here are the pictures of the scarf, before I added my bit, my contribution and the scarf as it is now, ready to travel on it’s way back to America.

Am I seeing this correctly? Are the 5 inches varying that much? I am in the InternationalGroup with you and the sections seem more equal. You made a good choice with the black and embelishment. Your work is very, very nice.
Hi Jaqui.
Don’t worry…no they are not varying that much. The first section which is the one that’s confusing you I think, is in two colours, but is all one section. In the top piccie there are three 5″ sections, not four mixed sections.
Thanks for popping by. Much appreciated 🙂
