Wishing for the Cold?
This scarf is enough to make me wish is was January. It is the softest thing I have ever felt. (With the possible exceptions of a newborn baby's hair and my bunny, Smudge.)
I finished and blocked it last night. It still smells like Eucalan. Mmmmm.
Stats:
Pattern: Leaf Lace Scarf by Shirley Paden, from Vogue Knitting Summer "05
Yarn: Karabella Boise, 50% Cashmere / 50% Merino, 2 balls
Needles: Addi Turbo US size 7
Modifications: I used a seed stitch edging to help control rolling. I slipped the last stitch of each row, for a clean edge. The pattern has you knit this scarf in two sections and graft them at the center back, I just knit this one straight through.
Yipee, I get to tick another one off my UFO August List!
It's just beautiful. I wish we had touch screen because it looks amazingly soft!
