I knitted a lace and bead scarf of my own design to give to mum for her birthday. Photos here:

's the only knitting I've done of late and I had to work hard tomeet my deadline, I've had a few days off the knitting now and despitehaving some (read: quite a few) other projects on the needles, I feelan overwhelming urge to start something new. Must resist, must finishalready started projects.I got some lovely silk from Colourmart recently: it's singing a sirensong to me. If you haven't heard about Colourmart then I'd recommendhaving a look at their website:

I left you a comment on your site, as well, but I have to say I think this is simply beautiful. I really love the scallop border and I the beading is a subtle and lovely detail. The few times I've attempted lace-type stitches, I either end up with too many stitches after a couple of pattern rows or too few. I guess I'm not cut out for lace stitches. :-)

Your mom is one lucky woman!

This particular lace scarf is knit all in garter stitch - if you can knit 2 stitches together and do an over it's quite achievable. Everything in knitting is based on just knit and purl stitches.

Thank you all for your kind feedback.
