Well, I've been embracing my scarf challenge - actually I think I've just set myself a challenge of finishing this one by the end of January - I should have made a cowl instead LOL . . .
The tassely, triangular finishing was supposed to be, er, done at the end, of course . . . but I got a little bored and yesterday decided to do the edging just to see what it would look like. (I know, it's a bit like reading the end of the book before you've started - ooops!) I'm pleased with the result though - it makes it look very funky and ornate I think. Also increased the length so a good incentive to keep going!
I'm thinking I could possibly turn the other scarf into a cowl though if I get too bored to make it into a scarf . . .
It's so cold here today that I could really have done with a chunky warm scarf, so I'd better get going with one or both of them!
Some 'tweedy' supplies are winging their way to me, so it would be nice to be up and running quite soon - a few ideas in the pot I'd definitely like to get going with.
Cheerio an Drasda :)

Or you could look at it this way: What if you spent all the time making the scarf and then did the edging and realized you hated it? All that time wasted! This way you know the edging is good before you continue. ;) I think a cowl sounds great; those buttons would be perfect!
love your scarf with tassels!!!!!

Wow, Alison, your knitting skills are leaving me well behind. Your scarves will be put to good use when finished.
Always good to learn some new stitches, very effective too.
Happy New year to you, I can see it's going to be a very creative one.
From a very hot Oz, where scarves definitely aren't needed at the moment.
