This weekend I started the entrancing Spiral Scarf using the Purpleheart Freia Flux lace yarn.
(do you see its purple heart?)
I can’t stop working on this scarf! The yarn has a pleasant scrunchy texture, springy and yet holds the stitch definition well.
One of the yarn’s features is the subtle and graceful way it transitions colors. So far I have knitted three feet (!) of the scarf and the colors have shifted from a rich cocoa brown to a soft rose to a pale mauve and now to a dove grey.
I cannot wait to see how the yarn colors will change next.
The short row pattern is soothingly repetitive, perfect for my somewhat jangled nerves. For once I have a portable project, as long as I can complete the 16 row pattern repeat without interruption. Happily each row is only 12 stitches so a repeat just flies by.
More pictures soon!

please tell me where to find this pattern, it is beautiful
Oh thank you, once you get the short rows down it’s simple to knit as well. It’s called the Lace Spiral Scarf from 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders.
