It's alive!
I worked some more on the scarf. I didn't like the plain garter look and the pattern I got at Glenmarle was only the structural construction and not the lace details.
So, I found the feather and fan pattern in Folk Shawls and modified it for this short shawl. So far it looks pretty good.
Check out the feather and fan detail, along with the lovely center increases.
The yarn is so soft and sweet. I can't wait to finish it, so I can take it off the needle, block it, and fully appreciate the scalloped lace. My tank yarn is drying on the line outside and I think I'll pick it back up after I'm done with this. The summer is nice and hot and it's the right time to finish it so I can wear it.
Oh, and thumb appears to be almost back to normal. The tip's tissue is still sensitive, but the skin is now unbroken and no longer red.
