Lace Ended Scarf Complete

My new Lace Ended Scarf is finished. So far, this is the design I love the most, out of the ones I’ve done so far. It’s really simple, and maybe that’s the key. To my eye, it looks elegant. It remains to be seen whether others see it that way too. The next thing to do is to write up the pattern, and perhaps have it test knitted. It’s so simple, I’m not sure whether test knitting is necessary, but it’s probably worth doing anyway.

My Lace Rib Vest is currently being test knitted. I can’t wait to see how my testers go with it. No problems so far.

Now, what to do next. I have ideas for a hat floating around in my mind. I’ll be consulting my stitch dictionary as soon as possible to see what I can find.

Lace Ended Scarf under way

The sample for my new Lace Ended Scarf is fairly well under way. It’s a pretty easy knit. I never thought I’d say this, but it’s a relief to be doing some stocking stitch for a change. After all that lace in the vest, it’s great to have some concentration free knitting. There should be more done than this, but we're still in Summer Holiday mode. :)
