So here is my latest cowl rendition, knit in a silk and wool blend purchased at I Knit London and found on Ravelry at this site.
This 100% hand painted silk fiber, from Cascade Lace (Switzerland), luscious to hold and light reflective, is being made into the lace Norwegian Woods Shawl:
This top-down lace triangle portrays a forest progressing from winter into spring. Beads grace the bottom edge....This pattern can be upsized by doing more repeats of one or more of the three lace patterns used in the shawl. Note that more yarn and beads will be required if the pattern is made larger.The repeats are 12 stitches, so I made lettered index cards for the pattern rows from the stitch charts. It was too difficult to read that chart, and the cards seem to work for me.
Hi there Nancy, I could use one of those neck disquises :) I don't knit or crochet but it is all so beautiful! I can't sit still long enough! Have a blessed day my friend! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark red kettle nature of the yarn for the first cowl. I originally ordered some Malabrigo thinking it would be as dark and lovely as your Manos, alas, it's a little too bright. I might have to go check that Manos out. Your Projects are beautiful, and your Lace is always amazing!
