(THIS POST ISN’T QUITE FINISHED. I wanted to get it out there for proofreading, but the rather critical element of the TARDIS chart hasn’t been added yet. The truly impatient can get it from the linked original pattern, though.)

Pattern: One Row Lace Scarf by Turvid
Needle: US 5 – 3.75 mm

This is older yarn, so the info doesn’t match what can be found online now. The label reads:

Coats&Clark Red Heart
Luster Sheen
Knit & Crochet Yarn
100% Creslan(R) Acrylic Fiber
2 oz (56.7 grams) per skein

Cast on: 32 sts. Work until yarn is almost gone, end off :-).
