I finished it!  I didn't exactly follow the instructions, but I finished the lace scarf - and crocheted the edge of some gloves to match!  The yarn has sequins built into it, and is gorgeous   I'm happy with how this one turned out.  Next time - I'll actually read the instructions all the way through.  I did make it narrower than the pattern, but she also made half of it at a time and joined in the middle, so the pattern is the same way when you wear it.  Mine is definitely unique now!
