One of the reasons why I wanted to learn to knit was so that I could make this scarf. I’m a sucker for anything lace, and I loved the ridges the pattern made. So in January I got to knitting … and just as Spring has sprung I’ve completed it. Oh well, it will be just as lovely next winter too, right?
I got the pattern from one of favorite craft sites, The Purl Bee. Here’s the pattern: Lovely Leaf Lace Scarf.
This is actually a fairly easy project. With the help of some You Tube tutorials, this novice knitter caught onto the techniques very quickly. However, between knitting up this baby blanket and moving, the scarf fell to the bottom of my to do list for a couple of months.
It certainly isn’t perfect, but if you can’t see the imperfections I won’t point them out 
My only regret? I used cheap yarn. I just didn’t think my skill level demanded nice, expensive yarn yet. While there is something very satisfying about knowing that this scarf only cost me $8 in materials, the low yarn quality shows. Live and learn.
Regardless, I’m super pleased with the end result.
