I believe that this scarf is my first completed lace project. I've had a few other projects with purposeful holes, but nothing with lace weight yarn and lots of purposeful holes. The pattern is a very simply 10 row repeat over 41 stitches, so it was easy to memorize and easy to sleuth if I ended up with the wrong stitch count. The pattern is by Classic Elite Yarns and is called Silky Alpaca Lace Scarf (rav link).

Blocking this was a pain in the butt because I don't have any tools for blocking lace patterns. After a little trial and error, I found that I could "stick" it to the carpet. Fortunately, I had just vacuumed.

The scarf only took about an hour or two to dry. So light and so pretty!!!

The final size was 9.5" wide and 42.5" long.
