In time to mail before the recipient's birthday!



I love the way it turned out and it was much, much more fun to make than the last gift scarf.

Details are on my Ravelry page.  (If you're not on Ravelry and you want the details, just let me know!)

I'm still giddy in the afterglow of the picnic, but I think I've said all I can say about it (and more) and showered all my heartfelt compliments on everyone, so it's probably time to move on to the next thing, blog-wise.

First a photo of the just-finished scarf.  My SIL loved it, yay!


Now onto the next.  I started this scarf before leaving for Dallas so I'd have something to work on while there.  It's the polar opposite of the red scarf; it's going super-fast and the yarn and needles feel just right in my hands.  This one is for another family member gift.



Unblocked, next to the book photo.  It's Handmaiden Sea Silk worked on a #2 needle.  I'm using a circ, even though it's not usually my preference, because it's easier to take on a plane.  The pattern is from Victorian Lace Today, same as the other scarf.
