First FO of 2008

I finished the Lace Leaf Scarf from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2005. This is a birthday gift for my mom. I used Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. I love the softness of the yarn, although it probably doesn't show the yarn overs of the lace pattern as well as a more delicate yarn.

This was a fun pattern, and once a few repeats were done, pretty easy to master.

Blocking really made a difference in this scarf. The edges were really curly prior to blocking. They aren't completely flat, but loads better.
