What happens when you let a girl who is bad at taking pictures use a nice camera? She still takes bad pictures.
But she feels fancy.
This is Orchid Thief by Ysolda Teague in a mystery hand-dyed yarn from Austin, Texas (I lost the ball band immediately after I got it). Super well-written pattern like everything by Ysolda.
It was supposed to be a Christmas present for one of the mother-in-laws (yes, I am about to have two mother-in-laws), but I clearly didn't finish it in time. Then she was out of town so I procrastinated until last night, when we were picking her up at the airport to finish it up and weave in the ends.
It is not nearly as long as I thought it would be. But I still love the leaf motif (heh, that rhymes). The edges ruffle.
They would probably ruffle more, but I ran out of yarn half way through my bind off (yikes!). Because it was mystery yarn, had no idea what yardage I was working with. I had to unpick my bound off stitches and do a yarnless bindoff instead. It isn't a very stretchy edge, but I still think it makes for a pretty little scarf all the same....
...if you ignore the bad photography....
