Cables and Lace
All in one small project.
You may remember the swatch I made a few weeks back. I fell in love with a pattern by Norah Gaughan in the book A Gathering of Lace, but didn't quite feel up to knitting a whole sweater with it. Instead, I decided to use the motif for a scarf. Getting older and wiser by the minute… I like having FOs.
- Yarn: Cashmerino by Ornaghi Filati
- Yardage: 492 yards (4 balls of 25gr each)
- Needles: size 3.5mm (US 4)
- Pattern: stitch pattern by Norah Gaughan for Ribbed Lace Pullover
- Source: A Gathering of Lace

I have loved this sweater since the book first came out and I extra-love how you've made it into a scarf! A scarf is easier to squeeze into my schedule - I'm totally going to copy you. Any minute now ... LOL

Love it! Is the yarn as soft as it looks?

Er, does that mean that we'll see the finished PinS, Pg 140 soon?

Wow, that's really nice! It has such complexity to it. Good call on making it a scarf.

I heart Nora Gaughan.

What a lovely scarf! You have inspired me to try this with a similar cable/lace pattern for an elaborate top I fell in love with years ago. The sweater just doesn't suit me, but the cable pattern's enchanting.
Thanks for a great idea--it seems obvious, now....

That is such a neat cable pattern, Norah Gaughan rocks, I have yet to knit one of her patterns, but I'd like to try one of these days. The scarf looks beautiful, and I bet it feels great in that cashmerino!

This is so pretty. I love the intricacy of the cables and the whole project looks so smooth and soft. Just stunning!

Hi! That's a very nice work! I have a knitting (also) blog, and I quoted you among "The good knitters" and I think I will post the picture of the pattern to let all visitors appreciate it. Visit me at: http://gomitolina.blogspot.com/
