Scarf for Tara

I decided to make a scarf for our daughter-in-law Tara using a pattern I purchased called 'Garden Path Scarf, my first attempt at a lacy weave. I purchased the yarn at House of a la Mode, a wonderful local yarn shop. The black warp is a simple sock-weight yarn and the teal is hand dyed by the owner of the shop. It looks different in different photos because of lighting but in truth is in the range of the 3rd and 4th photos. I warped128 ends using a 10 dent reed, about 9' long (would make it less another time). The pattern was relatively easy to learn. Overall I was really pleased, although I was surprised how dominant the black was and I also started at a looser tension on the leading edge, would be more careful about that another time. I hope she likes it!



My first time using shelf liner - works well!
