Not only do I love collecting fabric and making quilts but I also enjoy a spot of knitting and yarn stashing. Unfortunately I don't allow myself a lot of time to sit and knit. Somehow knitting seems to make me feel so unproductive ~ a luxury ~ whereas when I am sitting behind my sewing machine (mind you this is a favorite place to be) I feel like I am accomplishing something.
I like to think I can dabble in lace knitting, however nothing that requires my full concentration for too long although a little chart reading is ok. All that garter stitch was the perfect pattern. I started this project early April and spent quite some time with it over the Easter break.
This shawl is Taygete ~ pronounced Tay-EE-jet-ay by Rosemary (Romi) Hill. You can find the pattern details here: Ravelry
YARNS:
Koigu (KPM) 3010 Gray
Spud and Chloe Fine in Anemone 7805
See the picot edge bind off? It took hours to complete binding off the shawl in this way. It was worth it though; after blocking the shawl the picot edge might just be my favorite part of the shawl.
Bring on Winter!
