I finished Ene's Scarf!
Here's my completed Ene:
Pattern: Ene's Scarf by Nancy Bush from Scarf Style
Yarn: Blackberry Ridge Lace Weight Silk Blend in Samarkand Blue, 2 Skeins, plus a tiny bit of a third skein
Needles: 4 mm/US 6 addi turbos
Start: 2-10-06
Finished: 3-3-06 (Included the blocking process, which took one day)
Finished size: Pre-blocking - 50" wide across the top, 29" from tip to top
After blocking - 66" across top, 33" from tip to top
Notes: I ran out of yarn with 7 rows more to knit. The final size of the shawl makes me think that I knitted this really loosely. I think I would go down a needle size next time I knit this. Unfortunately I was unable to win gold for the Knitting Olympics, but I'm so happy with the results. The shawl warms you up when you wear it.

Oh Sandy! She's just beautiful! I had the same problem with gauge, which is why I went down a needle size.
Even then, she came out big!
Don't you just love her?

I'm so glad I came across your blog. I'm itching to start Ene but wasn't sure about the yarn to use. Now I think I will order the Blackberry Ridge. Your Ene is gorgeous!

Sandy, your Ene is lovely. You're a winner as far as I'm concerned.
