Mountain Stream Scarf
It's done! Lots of photos on this one.
Hanging out on the balcony, fluttering in the breeze. It's very light and airy.
Modeled. I was worried it came out a bit short while blocking, but now that I've tried it on I think it's perfect.
Blocking.
Project stats:
Pattern: Mountain Stream Scarf
Yarn: Handpaintedyarn.com lace weight, approximately half a 100g hank
Needles: 3.00 mm Addi Natura
Size: 8" wide by 63" long (pattern specs are 11" x 50")
Modifications: Smaller needles - the pattern calls for 4mm needles, but I like my lace at a tighter gauge. The pattern only calls for 14 pattern repeats, I did 30, because of the smaller needles and wanting a longer scarf
Thoughts: This scarf was very fun to knit. I really liked the Orenburg styling, and enjoyed knitting on the top border the most. I'm thrilled with how it looks, fits, and feels. It's nice and light, so I should actually get some use out of it.

It turned out beautifully and it's a great color on you! I think I'm going to try to make it to Rebecca's tomorrow so I'll see you if you're going.
