Mooncrest

Remember this scarf? I loved the yarn, loved the pattern, but the two just didn't work together... so the scarf got frogged and I re-knit it into my new Suncrest pattern. I am thrilled to finally have the right project for this gorgeous yarn. Hopefully in this incarnation I'll get lots of use out of it and it will be the signature piece I've been dreaming of!

Suncrest

This shawl used just about every last yard of 2 skeins of Koigu (kpppm) fingering weight yarn.

This pattern grows a lot after blocking. The garter stitch stretches out beautifully to show off every last garter ridge and the border really opens up.

I can't get enough of this scarf!
