Went to Cheer Wool this afternoon, to get more of the merino for "Ene's Scarf" -- don't know what happened with my math, as 125m x 6 = 750m, which should have been plenty for the 320m x 2 = 640m of the lace weight silk blend in the original, but it was not, by far. Anyway, there were four balls left on the shelf, so I hope that it's enough. The girls were absolute terrors -- I keep hoping despite all evidence that they will be calm and well-behaved enough to let me browse in a yarn shop for ten or fifteen minutes. Luckily there were at least three salesladies there, and they whisked me through buying and bagging in about a minute. I don't know if they were sympathetic or just worried about their shop, but the end result was much the same!
Hard to believe that these little sweethearts were the same screaming monsters of less than an hour before!

So this is where "Ene" is, nearing the end of the second repeat of Chart 3. It is a bit of a slog at the beginning, with so many stitches to get through just to finish one row, but it's much faster now, not only with the lacier pattern in the main section, but also with the advancing decreases.
your girls, and your scarf, are just beautiful!
