In this lace scarf, I've taken half the design from the "Muir" shawl in the current Knitty.com. The design forms peaks which stand out from the scarf (that's the darker parts) and is made using elann alpaca/merino laceweight yarn, the shade is aubergine. It's an easy pattern and grows quickly on 4mm needles.

That looks fantastic Kerry.

That looks fantastic Kerry. I saw that shawl on knitty.com too and it certainly caught my eye. Can't wait to see it close up. Kerry is the edging you've done you're own creation or was that part of the shawl pattern?

One of the things I like

One of the things I like about (most) stole designs is that they are usually very easily adapted to other projects - such as scarves, afghans, baby blankets. It all depends on what yarn you use and what size needles - then you just add or subtract some repeats.

Kerry - your work makes me feel like a fumble-fingerd klutz! Beautiful as always.
MMario - ambiguity is cultivated, it doesn't happen in a vacuum!
