I got to the point of dividing for the front and back when I realized that something was wrong. After assuring myself that it wasn't me, I did a quick google and discovered that the cast on and first two rows of the front were written incorrectly.
Meanwhile ... here is the lace scarf I have been channeling my excess energy into. It required focus to keep on track even though it is a simple pattern.
The yarn is handspun (by me) lace weight merino silk. I probably have more than enough for a second scarf should I so choose to make it. The pattern is (I think, I lost it) Bias Lace from the 2005 Pattern A Day calendar.

We did get out for an early ride this morning, hitting the road by 8:00 a.m. Up to Fairway to pick up the fixings for a picnic breakfast. Then down Riverside Drive and home. 13.3 miles.

Squidette had some friends up to work on their science fair project which led into that quality playground time where I was the adult to Little Squid's child. The young ladies, of course, did not need an adult to supervise. Eh hem. Hey, these kids travel the subways alone -- why do they need me in the playground?The three skeins of lace weight cashmere are all meant as gifts. The other two skeins of silk-cashmere ... well hey, I'm not made of stone!
And it is autographed by Berta! (Berta gave Squidette her very first pair of knitting needles, 6 or 7 years ago, because she was such a cute and well behaved kid.)

When is Little Squid the adult to your child? ;^)
Gorgeous scarf and fiber goodies!
Ya know, I'm old enough to be the mother of those girls and I'm not sure I'd feel comfy alone on the subway. *L*
/waves @ Little Squid cause it's his turn ;^)
What a fun day! That scarf is awesome and to think you spun the yarn yourself. Whoa!
I would have commented sooner but I got lost over at School Products. I'd heard of it but never visited there. Thanks for the ride *G*
I just LOVE the way you spend time with your children. Esp. considering that your job is SUCH a full time and demanding thing.
Children navigating subways? Omgawd.. I need THEIR help when I come to NY to visit!!
Devs,
I love the scarf! It is beautiful, delicate and sure to look fabulous on the upcoming Caribbean cruise! Not only do I love the material, but the pattern is very unique. Thank you for thinking of me.
