OK, am I the only person my age who hadn’t seen this movie before tonight? 

Eeeuuuwwww!!!!!!

  OK, I finished it.  I like it.  I like the feel of the yarn and the openness of the stitch pattern.  It’s kind of scrunchy (that’s a technical term, ya’ll).  It would be really interesting to see this stitch done in a fingering weight yarn or something.  After making a few shorter, cravat-type scarves, it was nice to make a longer one for a change.

YARN:  Moda Dea Floral in black from the Yarn Fairy.

STITCH:  Grand Eyelet Lace from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker.

NEEDLES:  US 13’s and 17’s (third row of the pattern repeat has you use larger needles).

I actually started a really cool scarf from some of the yarn from Jeannette today, but I had to frog it about eight or nine inches in b/c it was rolling too much.  Feh!  I’m going to redo it with a wider garter border on the edges in hopes that it won’t do that again.  Phooey!

Some day, I’ll finish that gold Wool-Ease scarf. ….
