elizabeth_mnOn Friday I went to Borealis Too, their second location which I didn't realize existed until last week. It's downtown St. Paul, just off the Ecolab plaza, inside the building next to the Ecolab building. It was a little hard to find and while I was looking for it I stepped into Candyland and got some yummy treats (yay!).
I picked up some delicious Cherry Tree Hill merino sock yarn and I was just itching to get my hands on it, so this weekend I started my new lace scarf.
The pattern is Kernel from Knitty. So far I am loving it. It's my first time reading charts but I just dove in and it seems to be making sense.
I've finished the border, now it's on to the main body pattern. I'm skipping the beads because I don't like beads on clothes, I'm always afraid they will snag on something. I messed up a couple edge stitches a few rows ago, but since they are just garter stitch I think I can fix them with a crochet hook, by dropping them and picking them back up again.
Once I get a little farther I plan to thread lifelines into this in case I need to rip back! The pattern is pretty complex (for me at least).
