finished!

I've finished my friend Rachel's scarf.
I'm very pleased with it.
I know I threatened to use all manner of tat to decorate it, but I decided to keep it more simple and applique puff circles on it instead. One side has a collection of black circles down one end appliqued with red thread, the other side has red fabric circles down one end appliqued with black, on black wool cashmere. It is blanket stitched in red around the edges.
I'm hoping she loves it.
I also hope she avoids the blog between now and Saturday, otherwise the surprise will be spoilt.
Now that I have a finished project under my belt, I feel a bit like making a cutesy-pie quilt out of lovely scrap squares.
Let's just see how far I get with that idea.
