I wanted to make the stole but I would have been a tad short on yarn. I was really disappointing to find that the yarn (50/50 mohair/acrylic) was a wee bit scratchy; the soft squishiness of it was misleading! But it was intended as a gift for my MIL and I will give it to her anyway as she typically wears such scarves over turtle necks or light jackets.

I added these little blue beads up the sides for a bit of sparkle

I like your scarf so much...I ran right over to Rav and bought the pattern! Thanks for the link! I printed the pdf...and I'm very happy that it states how much yarn you will need for the stole, or for the scarf!

Very happy here!

Thanks :)

Really lovely in all aspects. Beautiful colors and knitted work. What a fabulous gift!

I have 3 yarns in my Stash that I've PAIRED with this pattern.

This (http://www.ravelry.com/people/ArtLady/stash/kaido-lame) one, this (http://www.ravelry.com/people/ArtLady/stash/saldanha-2) one, and this (http://www.ravelry.com/people/ArtLady/stash/saldanha) one!

The Elann Kaido Lame will be a stole. I think I'll start with the stole for summer!
The other two will be scarves. I love the SMOKE color (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5290/5224933578_a74dd45730_z.jpg) best!

Very beautiful.

Wow, that's just lovely. Beautiful yarn. Maybe it will be less scratchy after wearing and washing.

It's a very pretty scarf. I might make one someday =D

Beautiful colors and the work is beautiful. :thumbsup:

Oooh, that's quite pretty! Great job!!

That is so pretty. I love the colors, bright yet soft.

Beeeutiful scarf! What an inspiration you folks are!

And if we needed more proof that this is a masterpiece, just look how happy your cat is! It's got it's little claws dug in in sheer delight and pleasure at being covered with such a lovely knitted item!

Wow, that is simply a gorgeous scarf! I love the color and those cute beads!

Beautiful work! :woot:

Thanks, all!

Woodi, cute put-put you have there! Such dignity and feline grace! ;) The beige in the photo is one of my four cats (six, if you count the fosters). His name is Baby, he's about 5 years old, 11lbs and looooong and skinny. It wasn't hard to get him in the photo as he is very snuggly if you have a certain blanket on your lap. You can see it in the lower left corner of the first picture. It's like a Baby-magnet!
