But apparently the Marine Silk yarn takes color in a wildly different way from wool, and I instead got the palest ghost of an aqua. Not what I expected\/wanted, but still so lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I have decided that I don&#8217;t personally care for garter-background lace. I academically like the idea that the piece I&#8217;ve created is reversible, but I don&#8217;t like knitting it and I don&#8217;t really like the effect it has on the pattern. That said, it&#8217;s still so lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, beads are a pain in the butt.

See where I&#8217;m going with this?<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, I am dissatisfied with the size. I was hoping for something more shawl-like, but I ended up with more of a largish scarf. Granted, it&#8217;s my own fault. I went down two needle sizes, and my suspended bind-off was still far too tight to allow for a lot of lengthwise stretch during blocking. It will serve, however, and maybe its smaller size will render it more versatile and wearable for the bride-to-be. And still, in spite of this,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/missaudrey.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0442_medium2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292\" title=\"IMG_0442_medium2\" src=\"http:\/\/missaudrey.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/IMG_0442_medium2-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">So lovely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The sheen of the silk is just gorgeous.
