My "Starry Night" Scarf

Here's the latest off the needles. I took three yarns, "Yarn Bee Boucle Vintage 60s," "Lion Suede in Moonshadow Print," and "Patons Divine in Denim Storm" and knitted them together on US size 35 (19mm) needles. This one will be a gift for Dorothy D. who inspired the knitting bee in me. It turned out soft and thick. It's only 7 stitches wide and I knitted until I ran out of what I had left of the suede from another project. It's a great, funky mix of blues with a bit of browns and tan from the boucle (Chris picked out the boucle for me when I begged him to do a yarn run for me to Hobby Lobby - Yarn Bee is their own brand of yarn. They've got some interesting yarns in the Yarn Bee line).

I named this one "Starry Night" because it reminds me of the Van Gogh painting.
