I substituted the Artyarns SR for the Fiesta Yarns La Luz called for in the pattern. Using a larger needle, I got a slightly larger scarf. Artyarns SR is a silk/mohair combinatation with a glitter silvery thread running through. The pattern is available free through Interweave Knits, Summer 2006, also online for free.
There are 8 panels of arrowhead lace, separated by bands of stockinette. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't capture the halo of the yarn, the soft variagated grey and mauve bands of color, and the pretty silver glitter of the yarn in my photos! This scarf was started and almost completed on my vacation - it was a perfect take along project.
It's lovely. And thank you for the link.

I've been thinking about knitting this scarf with Sea Silk. I have one skein of Straw burning a hole in my stash... what do you think? :-)
Does yours curl much? It hasn't got a selvage, right?

I love that pattern so much -- it's easy to memorize! Your version is lovely.

I, too, wondered if you had any curling. I tried this pattern with the La Luz but gave up because of the curling. It was, however, my first experience with silk and I wasn't sure how to handle or block. Yours turned out so lovely.
