But it's not what you expected! I started the "Prismatic" Scarf with my DC souvenir yarn, yummy Manos 70% wool, 30% silk juicy colorful goodness. But the pattern seriously ate the yarn up! I would've needed another skein to get a scarf the length I like to wear, and since I only had 2 skeins...I researched a few lace patterns on Ravelry. In the end, I decided on
Falling Waters, an easily memorized lace that broke up some of the color pools quite well! I ended up using about 1 and 3/4 skeins and the scarf blocked out to 7" x 76". Soft but with the great drape and sheen of the silk!
Here's a close-up view of the pattern.....
The February Lady Sweater had to be ripped back about 8 rows. I decided I just didn't like the YO increases at all, so am back now to the last row before the first set of increases and will do a standard M1 (KFB) for the garter section. Otherwise, all's happy in knitland.
Knit on!

hey Lisa it's another Saturday night on Ravelry, where are you buddy!?! LOL
Well geez Minnie, you've said everything I wanted to say, lol. So I'll just say that this is a quintessential example of synergism between pattern and yarn.
I want to do the February Lady Sweater or something similar that is open in front. But I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle sleeves.
Superb knitting! :) The yarn really is ideal for the pattern.
everything about that scarf is perfect, its eyecatching, the colors are sublime, and I have never worked that pattern, its just beautiful Lisa
