So I'm on a roll with finished things, and finally also got my Siren Song Scarf Blocked!

Pattern is the awesome (and adjustable) Siren Song, by Louise Zass-Bangham, and it's a pattern I well recommend  -- just make sure you read it all the way through, don't forget the bottom edging, like I did!

a lace scarf folded up on itself, knit in dark blue yarn. The lace is a shell motif, progressing into smalls and finally into a mesh.

Yes, the pattern is -supposed- to have a garter stitch edging on the long sides. I didn't do that. I didn't read the pattern fully, jumped right into the lace, and meandered along for quite a bit before realizing that I'd skipped that part!    But, if I'd done the edging, I would have probably not have had enough yarn to finish. .  . so, I'm ok with that, and still happy with how it turned out!  Yes, this was another game of Yarn Chicken!  (And yes, like most of my scarves, I had to fold it up to get a good shot of the stitch pattern, haha!)

Yarn is *MadelineTosh Eyre Light in "Arctic", and it's a gorgeous yarn.  It does pill very easily, but it's wonderful to work with, and has made the most wonderful, squishy scarf!  I'm a bit worried about how the scarf will pill with wear, but I think this will probably be more of a springtime scarf, so it's not going to get oodles of friction under my coat. 

I worked this up on my 4 mm Lykke interchangable needles.  And I've determined that while the needles are wonderful, they're not for me.  I still keep unscrewing them, and now, disorganized me has managed to loose one of the needle tips right out of my needle bag! (I seriously don't know how I managed that one -- unless it is due to the cats, but they haven't shown any interest in the tips, so I'd be surprised!)

 So I think it's better for me to simply stick to fixed circulars, but that's through absolutely no fault of the Lykke needles -- they were wonderful to work with, they just kept unscrewing due to my knitting style!  I'll keep the two sets of tips I have, and use them, but I don't think I'll make the investment in any more. 

I've been productive in trying to clear out long-langushing WIPs, and I'm glad this is another one off the needles.  It's slowly getting warmer out (it being the end of February and all), so I'm hoping I'll be able to wear this out in a few weeks.

What have you crafty folks finished up in this last weeks!  Post in the comments, I'd love to see!
