The Ruby Hybrid, Finished!

 

I finished knitting on whatever this red thing is!  After blocking, it does seem to be holding the blocking.  It had been very long and narrow in the knitting, but I blocked it wider and opened up the lace and it is staying there.

I used the entire skein of Mini Maiden and it is a long, long shawl/scarf/thing, but wraps nicely around the neck.  I can't really give details about the pattern since it's a combination of two patterns that aren't my own, but if you take the lace stitch pattern from Brickless and plug it into the shaping of Hitchhiker, this is what you get.  I feel like it's got a very summer-y look with all the lace mesh.
