I'm so delighted to finally share this scarf with everyone! I finished it back in March, but I decided to give it to my mother as a present for Mother's Day. A couple of years ago my boyfriend gave me Rowan's Fine Lace book. It features some gorgeous designs for knitted and crocheted scarves, wraps, and some tops.
When I showed this book to my mother she immediately fell in love with the Elegance Scarf Wrap by Sharon Miller. Because my mother is not very good at lace knitting (she is wonderful when it comes to colour work!), I offered to make this scarf for her.
She choose an off-white colour and I set about knitting. At first I found the pattern quite difficult and made many, many mistakes! So I had to go back and start again a couple of times. After a while I found that the pattern was getting easier and easier. Unbelievably after even more time I knew the 30-something rows by heart and this pattern became very lovely to knit. It was very meditative and before I knew it this scarf was done.
Below you can see the finished result. So many lovely lacey pattern repeats. The result is so stunning!

And some close-up pictures, to show you the beauty of the pattern, and see how it flows in different directions.
When I went to visit my mother last week. I gave her the scarf and she is very happy with it. I'm also very happy because now I can finally show you this lovely scarf! The knitting of this scarf was so nice that I'm tempted to cast it on again and make one for myself!
