Recently, I had the opportunity to trade a bit of lace knitting for a small display table. The scarf needed to be a luxury fiber as it was to be a mother's Christmas gift. Because of the recipient's coloring and clothing, it was decided that white was a perfect choice. Normally, I don't knit in pure white (especially at a time of year when I'm so involved in baking) because just a small amount of dirt transfers so easily. I had pulled a few options and the daughter made the selection. That's how I ended up using a fabulous 100% cashmere fiber.
I selected the Fern Lace Scarf by Knitting Pixie for the pattern because it was delicate in style, fitting for this jojoland lace yarn. Once I finished it, I blocked it to its final 8" x 60" measurements. It was light and airy but the cashmere will be a comfortably warm fiber for our Texas climate.
I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. I may now just have to knit myself something using this wonderfully luxurious white fiber!
