Two years ago at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival, I had the privilege of running into Tilli Tomas’s stall. I fell in love with an unlikely yarn (for me), and purchased her two skeins at a much reduced price. It was a steal, and far FAR to pretty to leave behind.

All this time I was sitting on it not knowing what would be suitable. I had always thought it could be a shawl of some kind, but nothing too intricate, and anything boring would be unfortunate for the yarn. Until I was perusing Ravelry and found the Montego Bay Scarf. A mesh stitch would be perfect!

Here is the result! (click for detail)

It’s so much nicer looking in person. It fits nicely around the shoulders and is so sparkly!
