Yarn/yardage used: Mountain Colors Jeannette (65% cashmere, 35% silk), 158 yards (exactly one skein)
Needles: Size 6 circulars
I don't think I have much to say about this, other than:
1. This pattern isn't so bad when you have a relatively small skein of yarn that won't drag the project out into the dozens of repeats and hundreds of garter stitches.
2. I used up every inch of this yarn.
3. This yarn feels like knitting with a newborn kitten.
(Also, I seem to have misplaced my big box of pins, so the border leaves aren't being blocked as neatly as I'd like.)
It is exquisite! I love the color you did a fantastic job.

It's beautiful, Kaiya. I really love this color.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this shawl - the pattern, the color, the beads and your comment about the yarn ('knitting with a newborn kitten'). I imagine that it's an accurate description of a cashmere/silk yarn although I've never knitted with that kind of yarn
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful!! 'knitting with a newborn kitten' is probably the most awesome way you could describe something :D
ReplyDeleteGrgeous! Maybe eventually I'll have the courage to add beads to my knitting.
