fo: summer flies
pattern: Summer Flies, by Donna Griffin yarn: Orange Flower 50/50 merino/silk fingering weight, .7 skeins needles: US 6 Clover bamboo circs my Ravelry project page
notes:
I love this pattern! It knits up quickly, and you don’t get bored, since you switch stitch patterns fairly often. I especially enjoyed the knotted openwork near the end.
This looked tiny when I finished knitting it, but blocking really opened it up. It’s a useful scarf size. You could definitely add some rows of knotted openwork if you wanted to use up more yarn.
This yarn was originally used for a Gaenor shawlette, which I loved, but I didn’t pay close enough attention and ran out of yarn. : ( For a blend of merino and silk it help up to frogging and reknitting quite well. Orange Flower yarns are always gorgeous, and this is no exception.

I knit this as a thank-you gift for my Aunt Patrice who hosted just the loveliest baby shower for us last weekend.
No, we're not really naming our little guy Ragnar -- it's a family joke (though it does have a nice Nordic ring, doesn't it?).
