Chugging along

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.
