Some time last year, Christina sent me yarn in the mail. No reason, except that she was being awesome. WIN. She sent two skeins of beautiful hand-dyed yarn.
One of them was a skein of sport weight merino from Yarntini (colorway: Hope). It took me a while, but I finally found the perfect pattern for it: the Undulating Waves scarf.
The yarn is very pink, and since the scarf is lacy and beaded, I took to calling this my Girliest Scarf Ever on Twitter.

(Seen here on a chair at the coffee shop, because the light there is better than it is at my house.)
Detail:
I love it VERY MUCH. It’s very pink, but the beads are green, and . . . well, my school colors were pink and green. (It was a little women’s college in the south. Don’t ask.) And the yarn is definitely one of the nicest I’ve ever used–soft and cushy and just beautiful.

Wow, that is VERY nice. I like how it’s not one solid pink (which is usually kinda gross), but fades between darker and lighter pink. Good job!
Thanks! It is shamelessly pink, though, isn’t it? I LOVE IT.
The yarn was hand-dyed, and the color went from white to pale pink to bright pink (I thought I had a link to a tutorial for the process of dyeing that way, but I can’t find it). It’s hard to tell in the photo, but the light and darker parts did stripe a bit in places, so it’s not a smooth gradient all over, but it still looks nice, which is what counts.
Oh, it is BEAUTIFUL!!
We all need a bit of pink in our lives.
Well done and so very good to hear from you!!
Hope all is well.
LOVE your girlie scarf!! That is exactlythe kind of yarn I need for my multidirectional scarf; something that changes slightly so I can see the pattern change!
You have done a GREAT job and love the beads!
I think that is a pattern that I remember noticing about a year ago. I love it! I really want to do something with beads.
Did you made this? Awesome. I’ve been working on crochets some time now. How long did it take you to finish this?
I can’t remember how long it took . . . maybe two weeks? I knit a lot in the US, but dito sa Pilipinas napakainit ang panahon kaya hindi ako nakapagknit. I prefer to knit with wool and it’s too hot for wool!
