Link is a lightweight lace scarf, knitted in a 2/28NM Cashmere/Silk/Merino blend from Colourmart. It is a quick knit and quite simple, but does have a couple of wrong side pattern instructions. The pattern is charted only.

I fell in love with Annis as soon as it was published as a Knitty surprise. I lost no time in casting it on, using some of the Colourmart 2/28NM scrap sets that I had in my stash.

I knocked this scarf up last year as a test for suitability for beginning lace knitters taking part in the All Shawl Together KAL. It made a useful stash buster

The rhythm of the repeats, and the shortness of them, makes this one high on the “just one more” scale, and it is therefore very quickly finished. Just enough pattern to keep me alert, but simple enough to allow a social context. The ruffled ends required slightly more concentration, so I knit those at home.

Don’t ask me where/when/how it went wrong. It shouldn’t have. But it did. I weighed it regularly. It became a religion almost. I even built in 2 grams leeway for safety. But I still ran out. I could reknit. Or I could unravel the start until it is the same width as the end. Or [...]
I think that I may be addicted to Anne Hanson’s “Little Nothing” scarves. Here’s the latest – Fernfrost. Knitted in heavy lace weight cashmere from Colourmart.
Update on current Work in Progress- a cashmere and silk lace scarf, Red Emperor.
I took the Reclamation scarf to spinning today as last week’s disastrous efforts have quite put me off spinning for a while. After that it was a quick romp to the end this afternoon. It is done!
