Phew! I'm Phinished
Last night I finally finished my new shawlette. I steam blocked it this morning and plan to wear it today to work. I finished with my adjustments for my yarn with about 8 inches remaining. Final measurements revealed that while I was in stiches per inch guage, I was not in guage for the number of rows it was supposed to be - I had less rows than it called for. I will be sure to add photos soon! Have a wonderful day!
Knitting Knews
I have been working ever so slowly now on a sweet shawlette by Never Not Knitting . I really love the yarn I am using and couldn't be happier with the results. The yarn is created by a local central coast company named Valkyrie in the colorway Anastasia in Haven. It is a beautiful purply-red combination of hand dyed yarn. My favorite part of the yarn is that because I am using two strands, each one has it's own character, coloring and changes independent of each other within the hank. The result is a wonderful slight variation of the same hue throughout the shawlette. The photo doesn't nearly show the complexity - you have to see it in person.
