I found just the right pattern for the remake of the shawl for Marsel. It is engaging and interesting and it works even with a major change to the yarn weight from lace of the pattern to bulky that I am using! A good pattern works like that. This pattern is free. (The hem has a large rolled cable which doesn't show too much in the pic but shows a lot in person-also, an openwork design begins in the body of the tip to tip shawl!)
Unlike this kit that I purchased with high hopes for having a pocket to add my rice-filled hand warmers! The pattern is so lame-make the mitts flat and then make a pocket and sew it to the back of the hand. Oh, come on. I am making a pair of standard mitts. I am so disappointed in the pattern. The yarn is delicious anyway! (a merino superwash)

Rice filled hand warmers you say? Hmmmm.......
ReplyDeleteI hate it when that happens...a bad pattern; but the yarn is very pretty. As is the shawl yarn. Can't wait to see it completed.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my yarn/pattern stayed out of the naughty bucket this time!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell you win on now and you got taken on the other
ReplyDeleteGreat patterns are rare I find
Sorry to hear the pattern turned out to be a bit of a dud. I've never heard of rice filled hand warmers though. That's interesting! Happy knitting!
