A dear friend's birthday is quickly approaching and I wanted to make her a little something. She's probably the biggest recipient of my scarves and doesn't seem to tire of them. So guess what... she's going to get another :)
This is the start of the Kusha Kusha scarf. I think this is such a simple, yet sophisticated, pattern. A nice easy knit too. And since the needles are a US 8, it goes reasonably quickly.
Other than that, with the assistance of my trusty helper, I managed to finish up 98 of these salt water hexies!
Now I just need to figure out what to do with them - currently thinking they'd be fun for the bottom half of another birdie sling bag. What do you think?
I was surprised that I enjoyed working on these as much as I did. Of course all I have done is the basting. Next comes the tricky part of stitching them together. And speaking of stitching together, I am also making good progress on Mum's quilt. I'll share some more pictures once I get a little further on...
Other WIP are the Bertie's Blanket squares for hospice. You can check out the latest progress on http://BertiesBlankets.blogspot.com. Thanks for all the support :)

Happy hump day,
Hope you enjoy the rest of your week,

The yarn for the scarf looks so soft and a lovely colour. I really like all your colourful hexagons. You must have a lot of patience to do all the work involved in making them into something. I think a bag would be lovely.

I think Kusha Kusha scarf is simply wonderful!!!!
The scarf looks awesome. I love how you keep the hexies.
That scarf is going to be lovely!
I love lacy scarves knit on large needles! Your hexies are adorable ... that's on my list of techniques to try this year, too!
Oooh, I love those colors for the scarf! They are ethereal and shimmery, so beautiful. I did wince a bit at the thinness of the yarn.
I dunno how you made those hexes but they are super cool!
