The vine lace scarf is going quite well. It pays to listen to your yarn! I had to increase all the way up to a size 7 needle to offset the bounciness of this yarn, but that means that the knitting is going very quickly. It’s hard to see the pattern unblocked, so I pinned it out quickly for photos:
I love the depth of this yarn; it’s spring gives it a very nice texture. I lost a little bit of the velvetiness when I increased to the size 7’s, but it was definitely worth it in terms of pattern visibility. Here’s a close-up:
And, a more relaxed view, taken with no pins.
I’m still having serious lighting issues, so these were taken with the flash, and still aren’t perfect. Light box for Christmas?
