FO: Glacier Scarf

Pattern: 198 Yards of Heaven (Rav link)
Yarn: Handmaiden Swiss Mountain Silk Cotton in Glacier, 1 skein
Needles: 5mm

Out of my last five projects, three have been triangular scarves. I think that qualifies me as an addict, or at least someone on a lace kick.

I’m always wary of using variegated yarns for lacework, as they so often obscure the pattern and rarely look as nice as solids or semi-solids. This, though, being mostly shades of bluegreen with some sandy beige, looks fine to me. And the yarn itself is wonderful, too–mm, cotton/silk. It drapes beautifully, and grew from 34″ x 15″ to 48″ x 23″ after blocking. Since I’m rather short (ha, understatement) that equals just about ideal shawlette size.

For no particular reason, I decided to eliminate the purl columns in the original pattern. Also, because I wanted to use up as much of the yarn as possible, I knit the first chart three times instead of two. I had less than 3 grams from my original 100 grams at the end, so mission accomplished.
