Finished Feather and Fan Scarf
The little ball is all that was left of the skein. It's quite long (1.75m) and about 22cm wide. The variegated yarn worked okay for the pattern, not too distracting, and the lace shows up nicely. But it's feather and fan, which is very forgiving.
This doesn't have the bump row every lace repeat, but rather every third one, which gives it a slightly different texture from the traditional. (Old Shale)
It was originally a swatch, but I kept knitting to use up the yarn and decided mid-way that it would be a gift.
It's really fun to knit, very easy, the pattern is memorized within a few rows and then it's interesting enough to keep doing and not so hard that you can't talk or watch a movie while doing it. I can see why it's so popular!
