thanks again!
Here are the modeled pictures, taken this morning.
It is a gorgeous day out, and we were surrounded by birdsong throughout the photo shoot.
(I also had the sun directly in my eyes whenever I faced the camera, so that’s why I'm all squinty)

stats:
Yarn: Knit Picks 100% Merino bare lace weight
Needles: US size 5 inox circulars
Time: a little over a month of straight knitting
Pattern: my own, you can download the untested PDF:



I had a lot of fun with this pattern actually; it's a very simple knit, but made exciting by the Orenburg flavor.
Bill's mom is tickled by the flowers running up the center; she says it looks like a cat ran down the middle of the shawl. And that was actually what I was going for ;)
I had some issues getting the upside down hearts to mat the right side up ones, but that was figured out in short order.
A hint for marathon knitting like was one here: Audio Books, the knit was simple enough that I didn't need to concentrate too much, but that meant I got bored quickly, but the audio books really helped keep my brain occupied.


Thats so lovely! Great job!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!!
