I have been adding a pattern repeat or two every day and it is adding up.
I think the yarn is about half gone so I will keep knitting.
The yarn may look like granite but since this is yak/silk, it is downy soft to knit with insead!
I will be working on this for a while....
This is knit with lace weight yarn on #6 needles in garter stitch so it is slow going but every 8 rows I bind off for the lace edge so I know I am making progress!!!
I love how the yarn is making optical illusions. My poor old eyes can't process it and it's making me cross eyed. It's going to be a show stopper when you are done!
ReplyDeleteOh The cast of every 8 rows is smart and must be satsifying!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! Gneiss -- that's the word I was trying to think of while you were here -- this shawl is a gneiss shawl! 😀
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! That will make a nice shawl that goes with a lot of different outfits. Yak, eh? Is the yak what makes it soft or the silk?
ReplyDeleteLovely! It has an optical illusion look to it that I really like.
ReplyDeleteyak-silk-blend, that's yummy! warm and cosy, but not too warm! the colour effect is nice, it looks like marbling to me:)
