Jelly bean scarf

While we were in Minnesota for Easter weekend i found a really cool yarn store: Borealis Yarns in St. Paul MN. I have been traveling to MN for some 30 years now and never even knew of that yarn store...i recently got a gps system and that morning all i did was put in the word yarn......and she came right up...Thank god for gps systems...how did i ever live without it?
While there i got some pretty yarn made of all the colors of Easter eggs or jelly beans, so i decide to make  one row lace scarf and call it my jelly bean scarf.
its about half way done today so i should have it complete in two or three days.. picture to follow.
