Here is my completed Raha scarf. It was difficult to photograph the entire scarf, and the colors are more vivid in person. The pattern is from Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia. I used my size 9 (5.5 mm) Addi Lace needles and one skein of Fiesta Boomerang yarn in the Sapphire colorway.
This scarf is certainly a unique combination of a European design and a hand-dyed yarn. Fiesta Boomerang is very soft wool and it is machine washable. I wanted to make a lacy scarf pattern to increase the length as a scarf entirely in garter stitch would be very pretty, but a bit shorter. Although the edges are in garter stitch, there was still a bit of curling which settled down after blocking.
This scarf is a gift and should be comfortable and warm for this winter season.
WOW! That is so pretty :)

Funny, I was just started looking at that book this past week, trying to figure out what I will do some of the yarn around here.
Your scarf looks great. I like how the colors fell in the design.

Lovely colors & a prefect match for the stitch pattern. You are always so good with your lace knitting.
