The good news is, the shawl came out worth every second of the ripping back and of the not knowing; I am very, very happy with it. It’s hard to believe I got that kind of length and width out of 82g worth of laceweight. (Anybody need a little extra white Fino for theirs?…)
The bad part, of course, is that I can’t show it yet. All in good time
And now that the lacy days of summer are over, I went looking for what to do next. After all, what’s the worsted thing that could happen, right?
I had a project in mind, and found, as I looked through my stash today, that I’ve been knitting so much lace for so long that I hadn’t noticed I was virtually out of any heavier weights. It’s not that the wool had DK’d… It just got a little loopy.
Shepherd’s Wool puts out a new-to-me merino so soft one could go in-skein, and Purlescence tonight helped get me all wound up about it.
Nice stuff. I am going to have a ball with it.
