This is a great pattern. Just interesting enough to keep you involved, but not so tricky that you can’t also watch TV while working on it. My yarn ran out with the result being somewhat closer to a scarf than shawlette. I am perfectly happy with this, but maybe at some point I’ll splurge again and add to it so it’s closer to a shawl or shawlette. I will definitely use this pattern again!

I read and used the advice of others to go up a hook size than the recommended one for the yarn to help with the finished drape of the scarf. I also switched back and forth between both hanks of the yarn so that it would not “pool” and instead created the effect of rows in the finished piece. Unfortunately this resulted in a number of ends to be worked in!

I fell in love with this gorgeous yarn at my LYS and couldn’t resist buying it even if the price tag was rather outrageous for my budget ($15 a hank). It was just such a pure pleasure to work with -- so soft, with such dreamy, delicate colors -- and the resulting scarf is so elegant and warm that I can’t regret the expense.

I tried a few different patterns until I found one that I worked for me with the weight of this yarn. In my opinion, it frogged quite well--I’d used up almost one entire hank, and ended up ripping that project out with ease, and the yarn showed no ill effects from it.
