I got on the plane to San Francisco on the 2nd, and cast on for this lovely shawl. I have had this gorgeous handspun wool/mohair blend sportweight yarn sitting around since the dawn of my knitting obsession, but I could never find THE project to show off it's gorgeousness. It is a smidgeon itchy, a bit old fashioned, and a simple design.
I found the pattern through ravelry here, written by Stephen West. It is simple-- starting at the neck, and increasing 4 stitches each right side row. Knit in stockinette, and adding a garter ridge every so often for good measure.
It was a marvelous travelling project. Mindless, hard to mess up. No charts. As a matter of fact, I had the pattern memorized after the 5th row. 750 yards or so of sportweight yarn on size 8 needles later?
We have a lovely scarf/shawl. Only two flights across the country, several long trips on the San Fran public transit system........ and no blocking. I considered blocking, but was afraid my chocolate lab would mess it up. I really would like some of these......
I do have a little yarn left over........... a matching set of fingerless gloves, mayhap?
Hooray for finishing something!!!!!!
For those who are interested, these are in the works. Details to follow.
As you can see, I've been knitting most of my evenings for the last month or so. Very enjoyable, this meditative practice of turning string into garments with two pointy sticks.
