Ginkgo

I'm so pleased to be included in Quince & Co's Scarves, Etc. collection!  Ginkgo is an oversized lace scarf/wrap knit up in Osprey - an aran weight yarn that makes a bold statement.  The abstract lace pattern is reminiscent of the elegant and graphic ginkgo leaf. It is knit up in Carrie's yellow - the same exhuberant color of the ginkgo trees in fall. The golden yellow also serves as a warm reminder of the longer, sunny days. But of course it could be knit in any color.  It's the perfect snuggly wrap to throw around your shoulders over a jean jacket in fall, or to wrap tightly around and around your neck when you're shoveling snow. 

One of the things I struggled with in this design was gauge.  For lace - usually you want to go up a needle size or two so that it lays flat, however, when designing this piece, I swatched over and over, and ultimately decided that the leaves looked best in this yarn at the recommended gauge.  This pops the leaves forward a bit like cables.  I look forward to seeing how other knitters make this scarf, and hopefully enjoy it!
