The yarn is Jojoland Melody, and I really like the way this one is turning out. I went ahead and blocked what I had finished over the weekend so that I could see how the lace was going to look. Since the yarn has a slow color change, I decided that knitting it on the diagonal would make a fun design in the scarf.
This last one is actually my first attempt at freeform knitted lace. It's a light worsted weight wool, spun and hand-dyed by Ellen Hall, my friend Carole's sister. I've had this yarn a long time, waiting for an interesting project. I like the yarn in knitted lace, I'm just not sure I like what I've done with it so far. It's entirely possible that I'll rip this out and start fresh.

I think both those pieces you're making are gorgoeus. The second one is like a warming fire! Must go and investigate that book.
Your scarves are absolutely sensational. Great
I just got this book today! Never knitted lace before. Your first attempts are gorgeous! I'd love to see the final results!
