          I was looking at this fabulous scarf of Brooks' yesterday and marveling about it's ethereal beauty and wondering how it was made.  Then I found out that Brooks has a blog, stuffbybrooks.blogspot.com, and low and behold this very scarf was described there.  Here is what she says about it:

It may be hard to tell what this is. It is a summery kind of ethereal sea foam scarf. It has shimmery green-blue ribbon with silver overtones and eyelash yarn the same colors going length wise, white lace goes across at intervals and then it is sewn in both directions on the machine. It is long and makes a generous shawl, scarf or overlay on a skirt. I was so excited when I learned how to do this - it is so easy. It is the stabilizer that makes it possible. You lay out your design on the stabilizer and then cover it with another piece of stabilizer in order to sew on the machine and have it keep its shape. Spray adhesive helps it not move around. I like the water soluble stabilizer because it all washes out so easily.  Instant gratification is highly valued in my world and this does it.
