Bernadette, I have no problem to see why you will use another pattern!

But apart from THAT : This moebius is exquisite! Congratulations! AUD ;-)

OMG that is gorgeous and I would not have a clue on how to fix a boo boo. The pattern would be nice also with a heavier weight yarn for a plain scarf.

Donna

That is simply gorgeous. I can't imagine ever being good enough to do something like that.

Lovely! I know what you mean about lace patterns that require concentration on every row - but aren't they worth it for the result?

Thanks Noreen, I lerned a lot from making this one.

Thank you Aud.

I have a lot of other lace stitches to play with now. :-) I found a super site where they'd compiled a stitch index at

can't guarantee how correct each instruction is but have made up sometest swatches for some of the lace stitches that don't carry a picturewith them.

Thanks Donna - nor did I have a clue at first :-(

It meant unpicking back about 2 rows until I got to the place where the stitches were where they were meant to be. It was a pain because being a fluffy yarn I had to do it stitch by stitch or the mohair fibres would have become matted.

It would be easier to do on straight needles, I think, so if you want the stitch instructions I can let you have them. You would have to work out how many stitches to cast on in a thicker yarn but that'd be easy for you to do if you made a test swatch.

Thank you Brenda.

It isn't too difficult to do, but that stitch was a beast. There are plenty of others that are easier and would take less concentration. Next time I think I'll use one of them! ;-)

Thanks VP - and yes, I think it was worth it.

I didn't think that way a couple of times :-( but soon got over the tantrum once I'd corrected the error.

That is beautiful Bernadette! I am very impressed. I have done a lace pattern with mohair and it scarred me for life.

Thank you Laura, that made me chuckle :-D

I know that feeling because I thought I was permanently brain dead by the time I'd finished it.

However, today I cast on for my son's new sweater which (hopefully) will be easier to knit.

Yes, I experienced that brain dead feeling myself just last night. I need to rip back 10 rows of the Branching Out lace scarf. Luckily it is not mohair and the rows are only 25 stitches wide - it if had been otherwise I may have keeled over right then and there. Good luck with your son's sweater. It will be a nice change from the lace!

Yes please send me the pattern.....I know I have some yarn around here I can use

LOL that's how I was with my first sock....I was wishing the heal flap would take forever to get to.
