Snow and Wave

It's snowing like crazy along the U.S. Eastern seaboard, but before everything shut down, I scooted to the Post Office to send this to my pal. Despite my best efforts, my digicam will show it as a faded blue, but it's actually green and a much more saturated color than this.



The center of the scarf is the traditional Shetland lace pattern, Print O' the Wave, and the edgings are the suggested accompaniments from the magnificent book, Heirloom Knitting. The yarn is JaggerSpun Zephyr (50% wool, 50% silk) in peacock. The silk content is a delight to hand and eye, but its singular luster plays all kinds of tricks on my digicam.

I'll have more pix and commentary on my blog tomorrow after I shovel snow. In the meantime, many thanks to Celia and Cynthia for organizing this exchange!
