I’ve finally finished the scarf I started two years ago. Someone came round, saw it, and asked: ‘Is it conceptual?’

It’s quirky and a bit random, like its owner.

I recommend using these 15mm needles if you’re a beginner. You can cover more ground quickly. The only reason this scarf took me so long is that my life is still far too busy, despite my ongoing attempts to simplify.
