I ordered some worsted weight yarn online, when it came it was a little different than I had expected, not as soft and fuzzy as I'd hoped. I decided to try it in this pattern, which is supposed to be for a much finer yarn. It looks lovely blocked out, and got a bit softer after blocking, as I'd hoped. There are a few beads on the edge, you can't see them in the photos, though. I tried modifying the pattern to make it more than a half circle, this ended up being more trouble than it was worth. I don't recommend it, although after a lot of arithmetic, I managed to make it turn out ok. The pattern is fairly easy to knit if you are familiar with lace, but the designer doesn't tell you when you need to change the position of stitch markers when you move on to a new chart, which is irritating. Hasn't been cold enough to wear this yet, I'll be interested to see how it feels. It is much smaller than I'd expected, but I only had a limited amount of yarn to play with. It does look pretty!
