the colors stayed true and are as vibrant as ever.
I guess I had nothing to worry about, it was just excess dye washing off. nothing faded and nothing was stained.
pattern: frostberries scarf
yarn: liz’s awesome dye job (I think the base is kona superwash)
needles: 4mm

this scarf went a lot faster than I expected. I guess you could say I was a little obsessed. I pretty much just worked on it during all my free time this weekend. in the end it turned out to be 42″ W x 25″ D with 10.5 repeats, not bad for just 85 grams of yarn. the pattern was pretty simple to follow, though in the middle of it I wish I had increased differently for a wider, shallower scarf. it doesn’t really matter, I still adore it and I know it’ll get a lot of wear this spring. it’s so easy to just throw on and go. it’s warm but not heavy and the little bits of lace and some interest to an otherwise minimal scarf.
in a totally random note:
I guess dobby thought he needed more blog time since he kept jumping up while I was taking my pictures.
Love the scarf! The colors are so pretty and it looks so good on you. I also really like your glasses. May I ask where you got them?
That is really beautiful! BTW – I love your glasses and your hair!
omg DOBBY!!! What a sweetheart. Ok, srsly, you look great. Your scarf = gorgeous. You = my hero!!1
Gosh its lovely!! Cute doggie too.
Gorgeous scarf–thank goodness the colors didn’t wash out. I love the little bits of yellow, they add a nice pop to the scarf.

hi dobby!
Ah, that scarf is so pretty! Good use of the yarn.
Hi Dobby, you have grown so much!
Your pup and your scarf are both adorable!
I had no idea your hair was long. Lovely scarf.
beautiful scarf! i’m still obsessed with your new glasses. they rock! and dobby is SO big!
It turned out beautiful! My recent project bled everywhere when I was knitting it so I put some vinegar in with the soak and wonderful-ness happened. I love how that works.
So, now that you have all these beautiful Spring lace scarves, how do you chose which one to wear every morning?!
Great scarf and I’m glad the colors stayed true. Your baby is adorable and when the heck did your hair get so long? Are you taking magic hair-grow pills? Can I get some?
Whew! My fingers were getting tired!
Lord have mercy that is GORGEOUS!!
Lovely scarf! And oh my, what a cute pup.
Love it – those colors are really nice – I hope you have a navy blue coat or a beige one….that combo would look great on you.
The colors are so saturated and deep – like you could just swim in them. Beautiful scarf 🙂 and Dobby is just precious. … and wow, your hair is long! pretty pretty!
