I love how changing the yarn creates a whole new shawl with the same pattern!
I am knitting with my own hand dyed/hand spun Cormo in the Normilintu pattern on size 7 needles.
I finally reached the first patterning area!
I need to be able to grow stronger but it isn't going well with walking at all--so a friend loaned me her stationary bike so my legs don...
Pretty! I LOVE Cormo. Everything I have knit from my handspun is so soft and wearable. It is so hard to wash though that I always pass it by at the fiber fests. That and the price. Ouch it is expensive these days.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading about Cormo sheep in the new issue of Interweave Knits.
Another pattern that will be going into my queue. A local friend just finished up this pattern and her's is lovely too.
Oh the colors really are fun and pretty knitting up!
ReplyDeleteI've never spun cormo - yet:) but I like the "northern lights" colours... you're very productive again!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty -- it will be fun to watch it develop. So glad you like the pattern! :)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me chuckle -- because it's about same pattern looking so different because of different yarn/colors, it made me think of trying to explain to newbies who are looking at a pattern how they have to focus on the design of the item and ignore the colors/fabric of the example printed on the pattern...but they just look confused and say, "But I just don't like those colors!" ;)
Oh it is so pretty . I love when the yarn does the work!
