Juno Rejoicing!

Juno Regina!  With rejoicing!

I love it!!

I love the yarn -- even with the picking out of little straw bits at surprisingly regular intervals (and I'm sure I've missed a few bits that I'll be picking out later).

I love the colors -- they're perfect for fall!  I especially love how the colors and striping remain consistent throughout, even while changing and displaying all the subtle nuances that hand-dyed yarn should have.

I love the pattern -- it is truly... Mimsical!  Mim's Juno Regina is the perfect project for a lace newbie like me -- challenging at the beginning, a long portion of cruising (which makes for excellent travel knitting!), followed by a recap & review of the challenging portion.

Pattern:  Juno Regina by Miriam Felton @ Knitty.com

Yarn:  Morehouse Farm Merino Lace, 660 yards (one hank), purchased at Rhinebeck 2006

Needles:  4US, straights

Mods:  Eliminated one pattern repeat at each side to make it narrower -- more of a scarf than a stole.  It's still wider than I normally like my scarves, but it's also lacey and drapey, and so just perfect!

I also love my camera and my 50mm lens.  Knitting: Shawls, Shrugs & Scarves set on Flickr.

I love it! Just gorgeous. And now that you have used some of your Rhinebeck stash, you need to find a way to come replenish it. :)

Well - it's just lovely! Of course, I'd love to see it on you! We were in Green Lake over the weekend but I didn't dare let you know as it was a quick "in & out" trip and I feared I spend all my time with you if you had time to spare!!

[Elizabeth]

OOh, la, la.

Beautiful scarf! I'm knitting scarves for Christmas gifts this year. Only, I wish they weren't so ... long.
