FO: Diamond Fantasy Scarf
Pattern: Sivia Harding's Diamond Fantasy
Yarn: 2 Skeins of Morehouse Merino Lace in Silver Birch (you can only get this color through their Verona Lace Shawl kit)
Needles: Addi Natura Circular US5 3.75mm (I wasn't too thrilled about this needle; the yarn kept sticking in the join of the cable and needle)
Size: 22" from tip to top; 44" across
Size after blocking: 30" tip to top; 60" across
You can knit a scarf size (6 repeats) or shawl size (10 repeats) I knit the scarf size, but did 7 repeats because I wanted to use up most of both skeins of yarn.
Start: March 23, 2006
Finished: April 20, 2006
Notes: The pattern calls for an I-cord bind-off. It took me an hour and 15 minutes to bind off 212 stitches. I love the edging of the scarf, which you bind off as you go along.

it looks great! after seeing so many of these pop up lately i'm really getting the itch to do it myself. i love the knitted-in edging.
i'm sorry you didn't like the naturas. i've had really good luck with their joins. i wonder if you got a bad pair.
