Wowzer, I am finished with knitting this lace pattern called Sunrise Scarf which I found on Ravelry knitted up in handspuns. Sunrise Scarf
I wish these colors were true to the actual color of the yarn as in the previous post on this single ply yarn I spun. Its really purples and turquoise...its so luscious.
I have knit a bit of lace, no big deal right! Just a bit of lace at the end of shawls and simple things, how hard can a little 8 inch wide scarf be to knit?
This is one of the more challenging things I have knit. The pattern is knit on front and back, so there is no resting row to give yourself a little breather between following pattern charts.
I think the only thing that really kept me going was I could not stand to wait for the colors to change. Each row became more lovely, the colors just rich and exciting.
At one point I did consider to stop or continue as you really could not see the pattern much unless you stretched it out with your fingers, so I blocked an end.
That was all it too, I was off and knitting again with light at the end of the yarn tunnel. This was so worth the time spent and I have a OOAK amazing scarf that no one can resist reaching out to touch. My finished size is 7 inches x 72 inches long. YUMM, handspun yarns rock.
Soon I will be announcing TimelessDog Studio is opening its fiber business which will encompass hand dyed yarn, roving and art bats. Formerly Windyglen Designs I feel like I am re inventing the past with fresh ideas and fiber infused excitement.
