The edging completed ... I think it was a good idea to keep the color with the lighter of the variegation.

Beautiful colors ... This time I'm knitting "Triangular Lace Scarf in Leaf Pattern" from the book Estonian Lace by Nancy Bush. I shall be replacing the lace edge with another pattern though. I have an edging by Nicky Epstein in mind.

Now ready to wear ... If I remember right, the scarf's raw silk yarn was from Madagascar. I had bought in it in France during Fete en Auiguilles some years ago. The edging is Mexican Lace.

The rose brooch is needle lace with naturally died silk. Bought from Ödemiş, an Aegean town

Hmm ... Had totally forgotten to mention this one. This lacy edging is for an Indian scarf and has always been an escort whilst traveling. Can hide the DPNs in one of my pockets and get away with the security check at the airports. Now that I do not travel as often, this should be the next to complete before I plunge into a new knitting adventure.

The yarn is DMC Coton Floche a Broder ~ Size 14 (Taupe) ... I had bought a set of them in their original box from an auction. The box looks real old. Probably one of the earliest production.

Progress today with the Mexican Lace scarf ... The pattern is thirty-rows and each row is different. Needs super-attention but a lot of fun indeed.

This beautiful pattern is called Mexican edging. I always wanted to give it a try but never had the courage. It is indeed complicated; however with a bit of concentration, fun to knit. Plus the outcome makes me happily dizzy :) I used the wild silk yarn from Madagascar. Three of them measures to 28 cm (11') which is a good width for a scarf.
