I made a scarf, it’s blocking at the moment.
I used recycled sari silk from the Thread Studio.
The pattern is the Boomerang Shawl.
Mine is quite small, I will need to use a shawl pin to wear it. I should have bought two balls and just kept going.

Gull Lace Second Attempt
As you know I failed at the February Fitted Pullover – my lace looked very moth eaten, but I was determined to master the lace pattern.
I decided in the round was just too complicated at this stage – I just wanted a simple flat pattern – a scarf!
This is a scarf of my own design (it’s a scarf not too hard!).
I’ve got a border of garter stitch and then four repeats of the gull lace pattern.
For the more pattern minded of you …
CO 38 stitches
Knit five rows
K5, *K1, K2tog, YO, K1, KO, SSK, K1 , repeat until there are 5 stitches left, knit these remaining stitches
K5, P until there are 5 stitches left, knit the remaining stitches
K5, *K2tog, YO, K3, YO, SSK, repeat until there are 5 stitches left, knit these remaining stitches
K5, P until there are 5 stitches left, knit the remaining stitches
Repeat the previous four rows until the scarf is the desired length
Knit five rows
Cast off.
K2tog is knit two stitches together
YO is Yarn Over.
SSK is Slip Slip Knit
and tension is irrelevant (it’s a scarf!). If you use chunkier yarn, then have less lace repeats and more repeats for a lighter weight yarn.
Another Finished Object
I finished my scarf! The exclamation mark is well-deserved. I’ve been working on this scarf since July 2009! It’s a Jo Sharp pattern (Long Ridged Scarf) and I used Jo Sharp DK wool in Ink.
