All finished, took me long enough, huh? It is beautiful. Terry didn’t even recognize it when I brought it out. Blocking makes a big difference. I blocked it a little stronger to make the hexagon very pointy. I like it. The store sample and the pattern picture are softer hexagons, almost like they just steam blocked it.
The next question is….how the hell does someone wear this thing? I am not an accessory gal unless is has a very practical purpose like warmth. This scarf is more decorative. Do I need a shawl pin? Do I just tie it around my neck? Who knows. Maybe I will just drape it across my table in the sunshine. 
Holly Jo. It is fantastic. Just beautiful. I like your idea of decorating with it. When I first saw it I wondered the same thing you are. Or just smush it around your neck. It is just amazing.
It looks great, Holly Jo! I say just wrap it around your neck, or you could use a shawl stick or something. I bet it is nice and warm too
Does it match your decor? It would be a beautiful table runner! It is really pretty. I have a scarf that I had a hard time figuring out how to wear. I tied it kind of like a tie in the front and it works well.
Gorgeous, Holly Jo! I don't know what to rave about first, the amazing scarf or the beautiful pictures you took of it, a fabulous job all around!
Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! I know what you mean about accessories – I'm afraid I can't be much help. Love the scarf in front of the window! BTW: Met Katrina this weekend at soccer -small world!
Beautiful.
Wonderful! I love the colors!
Wow, wow, and WOW! So beautiful! I would call to rave about it, but can't…you're on the road. Wear it….it really shouldn't be relegated to just your table. People need to see it!!!!!!!
Very pretty! I love that pattern.
Okay, so I had to come back and look at it again. I, too, love the picture in front of the window. Glad blocking went well.
