Knitting with Kid Silk Haze must be what it feels like to spin a spider's web. The yarn is so fine, it feels weightless. What is surprising is how warm the finished garment is.I've been knitting along on the scarf with #20 edging from Victorian Lace Today. I finished the first edge and knitted on the center panel. The center panel is attached just above the long horizontal line, and is comprised of the short columns with the faggoting in between. The join is not immediately apparent.
Switching to the center panel was a nice break from 22 repeats of the side panel. Now I have to do a crochet cast on and start the other side panel. I will be picking up the center panel stitches on each row. I haven't done that before, so that should be interesting.
This project has been fun. I was originally going to give it away, but I've grown pretty attached to it. I might do a nice worsted weight lace stole to give away instead. I made my kiddo a scarf version for Christmas and it really came out nicely.

No, I didn't get any holes along the second edging. There's a slight difference between the picked up stitches (going from the edging to the middle section) and the border between the middle section/2nd edging, but that's because of the way I picked up the stitches. The directions to 'knit 2 together through back loops' worked fine for me.
I've taken a photo focusing on the area, and will pop it up on my blog today if I have the chance.
I am knitting a meadow flowers shawl (knitter's stash) with alpalca cloud. I can't believe how light it is! The patterns is really, really easy which was my intent because I knew I would never get through anything complicated with such a fine yarn. I applaud your effort and can't wait to see it finished. It's inspiring.
