This scarf was so much fun! It's a little challenging for the first couple of rows, but once you get the hang of it - it's fairly quick and easy to do. I used my favorite yarn for this one, needed to use up the brown, it's such a hard color to work with and match up. I think it looks pretty good with the iced aqua :)
