Christmas knitting got away from me, as always, so I still haven't been able to send some things. But the recipients aren't expecting them and they don't
It's a shawl! It took a month! Ooooh, aaaaah:
Bananaboat [Rav] by Sue Berg; knit with 2-ish skeins of Knit Picks Gloss Lace in colorway Port |
This pattern is free! on Ravelry, vaguely translated from German. I went up a needle size (no long-length circs in size US5 at my house), so I only did 3.5 of the 4 total repeats of the lace chart (for yarn usage reasons, rather than size).
I named the project "Lannis Port" for Game of Thrones reasons; it seemed clever in my brain at the time... using yarn in the Port colorway + fancy like royalty + I had just finished A Feast for Crows (AKA Book 4). Cersei wishes she had this shawl!
That is really pretty. I keep meaning to try Knit Picks yarns as they are pretty reasonable and we can get them in the UK now. They look good quality for what you pay.
ReplyDeleteWow that is really lovely! Well done!
