Feather and Fan Scarf

I bought some lovely Pure Silk in 2005 from John Lewis while we were on vacation in Scotland. Selling yarn at department stores seems to me to be a great idea, one that will be ever novel to this Bay/Sears-accustomed Canadian. The Pure Silk was on sale, so I stashed 2 skeins of Silver and Lavender. I had originally almost completed a Branching Out scarf with the silver, but thought that it wasn't the best yarn for the pattern (I'm maintaining that mohair/brushed alpaca will make a beautiful Branching Out) - it was a little *too* lacey for the drape of the fabric, which is surprisingly heavy when knitted up. After seeing some great Pure Silk scarves on Ravelry, my motivation to try the Pure Silk was awakened. I used the tried and true feather and fan, and look!
