This is a scarf I knitted recently, I chose a basketweave pattern and used roughly 3 x 50g balls of Rowan's handknit cotton. I love this green but found it a little dull on its own so added the crochet flowers and small buttons to liven it up. I love my new scarf

I also made these 2 neck warmers using just a little over 50 g of Wendy Fusion yarn (50% wool and 50% acrylic) for each. I bought the yarn on sale at Hobbycraft for half the usual price. The reason why I made these now is because I thought it would take me until Winter to have them finished but as you can see they were very quick to knit.
