Last night I spread out in bed with Frou Frou. I looked down to see that the yarn matches my jammies perfectly.
Pretty funny.
The project is sailing right along. I would rate the pattern for beginning, but not new, lace knitters. The lace pattern itself is very simple. The same 10 stitches, in the same order, over and over again. The only thing that changes is where in the order your row begins. There is no patterning on the wrong side rows. The reason I would not suggest it for a new lace knitter is because the lace motifs do not line up. It is difficult to look at the row you are knitting, in relation to the row you just knit, and be certain you have not made a mistake.
If you keep the faith and power through, it makes for a nice wavy fabric. Look, I reached the pink yarn!
The scarf is so soft and fuzzy. Can you imagine it wrapped around your neck? I will not have to imagine for too much longer.
I am at the halfway point of the main body. My goal for this week is to finish the scarf, get it blocked, and be ready to work the ruffles next week. As if the soft yarn was not enough, ruffles!
