I ordered a kit for the Birdsfoot scarf in Lapwing from Virtual Yarns but couldn't make the gauge work. The scarf would have been too wide or too tightly knit. Either way, the scarf would have been about 18" shorter than I wanted so I used the yarn to make a scarf using a simple lace stitch.
Nothing fancy; I was fed up with the whole project and just wanted it done. I have no idea what this stitch is called. I copied it from a sweater I bought.
I also made a pair of Komi mittens using the Hebridean 2-ply in Kelpie (navy), Lapwing (teal), Shearwater (blue) and Bog Bean (green).
I have more of all four colors and will eventually make a pair of fingerless gloves with Kelpie. I have some ideas on how to make working the fingers easier but for now I'm supposed to be working on Point Arena. As for the Birdsfoot pattern, I think it's better suited to a dk weight yarn.
