After many trials and tribulations (and yarn changes!!), I’ve finally completed the branching out scarf. Thanks to everyone’s encouragement - it helped a lot. And you were all right - it looks so much better after blocking!!
More details on my blog if your interested.
That is so pretty, Babs, and love the detail! You did a great job!
That’s a beautiful scarf! I’m glad you stayed with it!
Me too…but I came darn close to giving up!!
That looks beautiful, well worth the struggles.
Oh, wow, that is just breathtaking! You did a wonderful job on that!
Beautiful lace!
