Thank you so much everyone for your encouragement on my half finished Sea Level Shawl, after reviewing my options and my stash carefully I decided to dye some fleece and spin another skein to use as the contrasting stripes, which means I will unravel what I have done already. But with the new contrasting colour I should be able to finish the shawl whilst keeping the original Sea Flower's colour sequence. Fingers cross this will work, I will keep you posted.
In the meantime I have started and finished a filler project :)
The pattern is The Piaf Scarf by our own Denise of Voie de Vie, except I made it into a cowl that can be worn doubled up or hanging long.
This was a very easy knit and with 6mm needles a quick one too, I love the effect. The yarn is a mohair blend so there's a soft halo on top of the lacy stitches, the colourway reminds of the woodlands in spring with bluebells and snowdrops dotted here and there, it makes my happy :)
... is it just me or is my mannequin slopes a bit to the right, I mean to her left?
Thanks for dropping by, there is more fibre arts fun at Wisdom Begins in Wonder. Indulge your creative side and join the party!
Great idea to turn this into a cowl....love the colors. Nope it's not just you, she does slope to her left.
ReplyDeleteLovely cowl. It looks so soft and cozy.
ReplyDeleteNice filler project, if I do say so myself. :) That turned out super - I really do love the yarn used.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a brilliant pattern, the cowl practically knits itself, I'm sure you know what I mean ;)
DeleteYour mannequin needs some 正骨 work :D The scarf is beautiful! Great yarn choice for a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Denise's pattern as a cowl. Haha! Quick knit? It took me almost a month to finish...using bulky yarn. I envy you fast knitters.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and it shows off the pattern in a stunning way.
Hehehe I get into a trance when I knit... wish I could weave like you tho!
Deletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery cozy!
ReplyDeleteCathy--Your 'woodlands' cowl is wonderful and the yarn is perfect...it evokes exactly that kind of flower-filled place!!
ReplyDelete...I agree, Denise is a rock star!
