I started this scarf forever ago and just finished it this week. I fell in love when I first saw the pattern for the Northern Lights Wrap in the Lion Brand Yarn catalog, but the kit was just under $100 (cheaper now!) and I couldn't justify paying that much for a scarf. Then I got the email from Smiley's Yarns announcing that Moonlight Mohair was on their Midnight Madness sale for 99 cents a skein. The pattern is a simple stockinette stitch with a garter stitch border. I slipped the last stitch on every row to tighten up the edge and that worked nicely. The yarn is Moonlight Mohair Northern Lights and Trellis Ocean, and is knit holding the two strands of yarn together on size 11 needles. The pattern calls for fringe, but I'm not a big fringe fan--too much zipper catching and nose tickling. The scarf is wonderfully soft, fuzzy, sparkly, warm and cozy.
