I started knitting this shawl a couple of weeks ago. The pattern is Gwindra from Blacker Yarns. It is a modified garter stitch pattern, which knitted up quickly and had added interest with the addition of the blue contrasting stripe.
The cable and lace edging adds a new dimension to this pattern and is a little more challenging to knit. I have found this fairly straightforward, as long as I concentrate on the pattern.
The edge has grown slowly: with a 22 row pattern repeat, which is then repeated 28 times, there are a lot of rows to knit.
I've had a sense of waves of cable and lace forming as the pattern grows. I still have a number of rows to knit, but I'm getting there.
Looks lovely. I struggle with lace as I'm really, really short-sighted, but I love other people's lace-knits. Nice choice of colours and pattern too.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful progress, Marie! It looks at once simple, yet complicated... ;) This will be a special finished project! I like that bit of blue whispering through all the creamy-white... Happy Knitting ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteBonny - thank you for your kind words about my shawl. The lace is a little challenging, but only because I tend to mult-task and I'm usually knitting in front of the television! Marie x
ReplyDeleteTracy - it is looking good. My only concern is that I may run out of yarn before the end...not long now (the yarn and the end!). Marie x
