Oak Leaf & Acorn Scarf Completed

I've finished my Oak Leaf & Acorn scarf.  Here it is drying and perhaps stretching a little.  It is about 6" wide by 52" long, not bad for a 2.3 oz skein of 2-ply yarn.  I completed 6 oak leaf repeats on the first half of the scarf, however, I only had enough yarn to complete 5 oak leaf repeats on the second half.  If you look carefully on the right, you can see the acorns, I was surprised at how nicely they turned out.  I also like the picot cast-off edging but I opted for a 3 stitch picot instead of the 4 stitch picot in the original pattern.  This merino/angora (80%/20%) blend is so soft and I especially like the color variations in this Iris colorway by Gypsy Girl Creations.  I used 24 inch size 6 Addi Turbo Lace needles to knit this scarf.  That is the largest size they make and I wanted to see how I liked them.  They are very pointy and quite helpful for lace knitting.  I look forward to using them for future lace projects.

It's really pretty & looks so soft & warm. I like scarfs but find kntting them tedious as it's takes such a long time to reach the desired length.

Oooh how beautiful! It looks so luxurious and decadent. What a wonderful job you did! It must have been heaven to work with such a splendid yarn.

What Opal said. It is amazing, especially when you consider the dimensions that you got for the scarf with 2.3 ounces. Congrats!

Dear Roseann - this is great! I just finished half of the scarf and having a lot of trouble with aligning the pattern starting the second half.
Do you have any advice?

Thanks much!
