feelin loopy

The Loopy Lace Scarf


Pattern called for sz4 needles and Frog Tree Alpaca Melange.I started and got about 3inches into the start.. and it was resulting in such a tight fabric. So, I frogged and upped the needle size to sz6s... and started again.. STILL to tight.. not lacey nor loopy...
Lastly, I upped to sz8s for the honeycomb pattern throughout the scarf.. HOWEVER, for the keyholes (yes, there are TWO of them)... I used sz4 needles, so that it tightened up and had clean neat lines... I think I'll lightly block it...but I'll leave it up to LYS Judy to decide...

Have a good week all!
