Finished Project – Lace Neckwarmer

Yarn: Rowan Silk Wool DK

Size: n/a

Needles: US 6 circs

I originally bought two balls of yarn for this project since I was following the yardage for the pattern, but I ended up needing only one ball instead. It was a nice, easy lace pattern – which is saying a lot considering how much I don’t like lace. When I finished the neckwarmer, though, I noticed that my gauge must have been off since the circumference measured 14″ instead of 18″. A little blocking helped that and I was abled to get it to 16″, which is alright. It’s just a little too tall for my liking and ends up rolling underneath my neck, and I don’t exactly have a short neck. Maybe it it had been the circumference it was supposed to be, it would lay lower around my neck. All in all, I’m looking forward to wearing this with my black jacket this fall.
