Vine Lace Scarf
After swatching 9 patterns to find a lacey but plainer pattern that would work with the variegated Artyarns Ultramerino 4, I finally chose a very simple pattern for my pal's scarf.
I wasn't looking for "simple," only for a pattern that would have enough stitch density to work with this particular yarn. I can't believe I came back to vine lace, but of all the swatches, it looks the best.
If the yarn screams "vine lace" at me, I guess I have no choice and needn't feel guilty for not making something more challenging. It's a delightful pattern, and I'm enjoying working it immensely. I'm about halfway finished.
I hope to send my scarf to my pal next week.

Absolutely beautiful! It looks like yarn and pattern were a match made in heaven!
Thanks, Kniterella and Dr. Leonesse--you made my day!
Wow... it is truly stunning. The yarn and the pattern work perfectly together. Understated elegance.
So pretty! What a great yarn/pattern combination!
Wow. Amazing how beautifully the two go together. (And by the way, I hope this exchange isn't about doing something complicated or hard, because I'm not going that way at all. I think beautiful and lovingly -- if not perfectly -- knit is more to the point. Hope so, anyway.)
Debi, that's really, really pretty. I wouldn't worry about it not being more complex when it's that gorgeous!
great detail . . .
This is gorgeous! Lucky, lucky pal! And lucky me, a new awesome pattern to try - already tested on some wonderful yarn! Thanks!
lovely pattern. Goes well with the yarn and colours.
Beautiful! Love the colors and pattern. I'm sure anyone would be delighted to get this scarf!
