Ooh, Lace

Trellis Scarf

Trellis Scarf

Look what I did today!  The damn scarf is done!  While it is beautiful, it is probably the most repetitive and obnoxious thing I’ve knit yet.  I worked on it for months, I just kept putting it down and going to something else because the thought of doing yet another 7-into-5 cluster made me want to bash my head into the nearest hard surface.  So I made it my TV knitting.  Every time I sat to watch TV, I had to knit on it.  It worked and the scarf is gorgeous.  I’ll probably never wear it (not much of a lace person, love to knit it, don’t love to wear it) but I might give it away.  I’ll have post-blocking pictures Monday.

Details:

Pattern:  Trellis Scarf Spring ‘06 Interweave Knits

Yarn:  Misti Lace weight Alpaca in blue

Needles:  US3 Addi Turbos, which suck for lace but they’re the only size 3’s I have.  The pattern called for 5’s, I just didn’t want it thatloose.

Would I knit it again?  Not without pay.  Seriously, I don’t do repetition well.
