Last night I crossed the finish line in the Shawl Relay! I couldn't have done it without all your cheering....after a night of blocking here she is:
Pattern: Swallowtail by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Knitpicks Bare Lace weight (about 1/2 of the skein...don't have a scale to know for sure)
Needles: US 4 (everyone at knit night were perplexed that I used straight needles, but I did)
Modifications: Make a little bigger by doing 5 extra repeats of the budding lace pattern. I thought that would be it until row 3 of chart 4. I must have ripped it out 5 times. Pepperknit details the extra mod that needs to be made here! Then all was well!
Knitted for: Well originally I thought this was for me, but I have another shawl in mind for myself so this will be gifted. Who will be the lucky one?
This shawl doesn't have the shine that the last one does (no silk in this yarn) but I still couldn't be happier with it for a small shawl/scarf!
And the week wouldn't be complete without a picture of Knox!
It's beautiful!!! I can't wait to see it in person. =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! It looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! You are so generous to give another one away. Someone is going to be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWith straight needles you don't have to worry about the yarn-overs getting snagged on the join.
It's stunning! The first thing I saw when your blog came up. Congratulations on a wonderful finish!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love it in white. I totally need to make me one :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazingly beautiful! I am going to have to add that one to my queue.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Team BRRS! Wear your medal proud! I can't believe you've already blocked it to. You are going to make someone overwhelmed with joy when they receive this shawl. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh Leah that is even prettier then I imagined it would be. I have never knitted nor owned a shawl so I never knew what the big deal was, but omg that's stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so elegant! I can just see wearing in the evening to a formal affair or to a wedding :) (Knox, you must be proud of mom ~ and you look most relaxed now!)

I really envy people that can do lace. I guess I rarely have the time to concentrate totally.... Or I just can't do lace....
