I am very happy with the final product. Although I almost frogged and started over with a different yarn, my sister urged me to finish with this yarn. After the project hiberated for 9 months, I decided to take her advice and complete it. The yarn is Melange by Blue Sky which is fuzzy (has a halo), but very soft. In spite of its soft texture, it was somewhat itchy on the neck. I washed first in Soak and then rinsed it with a generic hair conditioner. It is not nearly as itchy now. If I were to make this scarf again, I would not use the fuzzy yarn, but would pick a smoother yarn to show the lace to full advantage. If a shorter scarf is desired, delete up to 7 repeats (it would then hang as shown but without the wrap around).
I taught a friend how to knit last night...a new flame has been lit!
I am trying to learn to crochet a sprial rope bracelet...NOT as easy as it looks!
Until next time,

Oh the scarf is beautiful. Headless model should be proud. Loved the lesson and flame is burning, casting on practice tonight. Thank you!!
