Lisa's niece saw her scarf and hat from last Christmas, and mentioned that she wanted her own scarf from Neo and Rene'. To be exact a blue one with white poke-a-dots and beaded fringe like her sisters. I started out by making a garter stitch scarf like I had for her sister. The resulting scarfs were too light and wispy to attempt dying a pattern in. After several attempts with different size needles I went a different direction. This is a basket weave pattern using 2 strands of the lace weight 2ply yarn. The reason I am publishing this before it is done is to give everyone a chance to see a scarf in transition. The scarf will now be dyed with acid dyes. I will make a strong dye liquor and use the pattern and a syringe to (hopefully) control the color. With luck the result will be the requested blue and white pattern. I will post an updated photo after the dyeing process and then a final photo after Christmas
