I have a finish!
During the hottest week (so far) of the year I finished my Inner Light Scarf made with 100% merino wool:
The yarn was purchased last summer at a local yarn festival from Knitting Notions (a hand dyer from Nashville, TN). I bought two skeins of the Azalea color off her clearance table and only after I got home did I realize I had bought two different dye lots. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I decided to alternate the skeins every two rows and they ended up working together really well. This pattern makes an asymmetrical scarf (or shawl) that I imagined I would wear once it cools down again - something like this:
It's so warm, though, I'm pretty sure it will be reserved for wearing under a coat or jacket when it's really cold, so I'm not sure how much of that pretty lattice design will ever be seen. But I'm super happy with it. I am so warm-blooded anymore I can't seem to tolerate much of a scarf, but this one made in fingering weight yarn, I'm thinking will be pretty perfect.
This was a pleasant and pretty easy pattern to crochet. I have at least one more scarf/shawl pattern from this designer and I look forward to giving it a go soon. The size of this can be made larger or smaller depending on the intended wearer, and how they might want to wear it (e.g. someone small could wear it as a shawl, or it could be made larger to fit any size):

Having finished this asymmetrical scarf, I went looking for ways to wear it. I found this; and it was kind of fun watching this gal play with hers.
And that's a wrap!
