Stained Glass Scarf

This scarf was inspired by the stained glass works of Frank Lloyd Wright. I love the vibrant colors with the black outline; however, it also looks very pretty in pastels or shades of the same color. LOOK HERE  to see several versions in my Ravelry project gallery. They are all very nice. Remember, you must be logged in to Ravelry for the above link to work.
