It's the first time I have knitted a scarf in a 4ply (fingering weight) yarn... and it seemed to take forever! For a while there, I wondered if it was ever going to be finished...
I do love the pattern though. As far as lace patterns go, it's quite simple to follow and easy to remember. And I love the finished effect, too.
Now, get ready for the biggest surprise of all... I actually blocked this scarf!!!
Mind you... that just means that I laid it out nicely on the ironing board... gave it a spritz of water... put a cloth over the top... gave that a spritz of water... then carefully and lightly steamed it with my iron on the WOOL setting. Pretty fancy, hey!
You might recognize this pattern, as it is a scarf that I have made before. If you want to take a little stroll down memory lane with me, you can see other versions of the same scarf here and here and here.
The scarf pattern is not available online, but I did find instructions for a feather stitch pattern which you could use if you were interested in making something similar. Don't be confused if the photo looks a little different... they have shown the RIGHT side of the work, whereas most of my photos show the WRONG side (which I find more interesting)

It's so fine and delicate. And the beads go well with the colour of the yarn.
Absolutely gorgeous!

Very pretty and I love the bead trim.
I've made 3 scarves so far and another 2 mini ones to go. Not as quick as you though :-)
Funny that you like the wrong side all the time. What does that say about you, I wonder? Lol.
