And up close, to show some of the lace pattern detail a little better...

Project Details:
'Alpine Knit Scarf' - from Jane Sowerby's 'Victorian Lace Today'
Approximately 5 and 2/3 balls of ONline Linie 164 'Java' in shade #05
KnitPicks Classic 3.0mm circular needles
Cast on 103 stitches instead of the original 121, and worked three double rose leaf patterns across the centre panel instead of the original four
Total number of repeats of double rose leaf pattern in centre panel: 58
I am beyond happy at the way this scarf turned out, as the final drape of the lacy, knitted fabric in this yarn once it was blocked was incredible and by far exceeded all of the expectations I had when I first started the project.The scarf turned out so well that Michael (my husband) still can't believe I gave this scarf away, but I knit it for someone who has had bad experiences with swaps in the past so I'm glad I was able to send her something to help restore her faith in people.
And of course I can always knit another one for myself, as for once I've had the foresight to buy enough extra yarn to do just that -- I always knew giving this scarf away when the time came would be difficult.
As you can see...

... I've already cast on and worked the first diamond pattern repeat of the second scarf, mostly as an encouragement to myself to work on it from time to time between other projects.

That's absolutely stunning. I can understand your husband's surprise, and your pal's faith in human nature should be very thoroughly restored. It's a very beautiful shade too.
Wow! I love it and I love the color, too.
Oh, that's very lovely. VERY lovely.
Gorgeous, Pamela! Love the color too.

What a BEAUTIFUL scarf for your ISE4 pal. She's so lucky to be receiving something so gorgeous! I'm sure this scarf will definitely restore your pal's faith in people. BRAVO to you!
That is SO beautyful! I don't think I would have had the patience to start all over so many times! Your pal is very lucky!
That is so lovely!! The color gives it a look of substance at first glance, but then when you see the light coming through it, you can tell it is made of gossamer.
Very stunning, your friend will be beside herself!

Hiya, I'm not a member of your KAL, but I must say that is absolutely stunning, and I don't normally go in for superlatives! The yarn and pattern seem in perfect harmony, I just want to reach into the screen and steal it! Your pal is one lucky person.
