Queen Anne Lace Scarf

This was the first version of this scarf I saw at Frualbertssons Blog.
BTW have a look around her blog.  She works some exquisite crochet.

She has since worked it a few times, but that first time it played with my head.

So pretty, feminine, lacy.

But I'm sure way too hard for me to do!!

Look at the work involved.

But it would not leave my head and I started to see a few other versions.

So I went looking on Ravelry.

After much difficulty (for some reason it does not come up on the search) and lots of linking I found it!!!!  Here is the link

But I must hold out!!!

I must work on the blanket!!!
Not another WIP!!!

Aren't I a Good Girl!!!

So on Monday I printed the pattern

I went stash-diving and came up with something I have been wanting to use for a while

So I lined it all up

And left it there

And worked on the blanket

So then on Tuesday morning

what did I see

This over on Flickr

Bethel had worked her own version of the pattern

And a very pretty version too!!!!

Oh my Bethel ☺

So what's a girl to do????

(Ok no comments about not being a girl any more ☺ )

Of course I did what had to be done

So I picked up the pattern and the yarn and the hook yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon

and started this

and by early Tuesday night

It was Done!!!!!

Oh my

What was I worried about

Love the pattern

Love the yarn

Love the scarf

This works for me

I don't have a real need for a scarf

But a fashion statement

To show-off my work

Oh this works beautifully

And BTW the scarf is unblocked as I loved the frilly-ness of it that way and did not want to lose that

I will definitely be re-working this lovely pattern
