The Bias Scarf is off the knitting machine and ready to wear!
It blocked out at 7' wide and 50' long. It is so light and drapes so beautifully;
I wish you could feel it! This is 100% silk, sport weight yarn
(but it looks like fingering weight to me)
from the Darn Good Yarn Co.

You can see the texture of the stitches with an interesting slub every once in a while.
I grafted the ends together to make it a cowl without adding a twist.
This will make a very pretty accessory.
I will want to repeat this pattern with different yarns!

(40 stitches wide on a mid-gauge knitting machine
200 rows long
increase one stitch on one side while decreasing one stitch on the other,
knit one row even)
nice summery colours! I like silk cowls and scarves, because they warm without getting too hot! which reminds me of the big bag of silk noil that I still have to card and spin up....
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely - nothing drapes and feels like silk.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you did that on the machine! My first reaction was "wait, I don't remember seeing this cowl!"
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. And I love that it is all in silk. I love wool, but I tend to itch easily. Silk is so nice against the skin.
