My warm up knitting
After I signed up for season of lace summer ‘08 I started working on picking out my lace projects and deciding on lace yarn. I got so excited about knitting all the lace that I just had to start a lace shawl projects to keep my sanity in check until June. I have been working the Bigfoot Shawl from the book “Wrapped in Comfort: Knitted Lace Shawls” by Alison Jeppson Hyde. I just love this book! Every pattern is just so beautiful, and there is atleast one pattern for every skill level. Being fairly new to lace weight yarn and shawls I decided to go with one of the easy skill levels. I’m around 50% complete on this shawl. I’m on the second of two hanks of Oregon Coast Heather from Knit Picks. This yarn is so pretty, and combining the yarn with the bigfoot pattern has been very successful! I am very pleased with the way it is turning out. I can’t wait to get it complete and blocked! I’m thinking that I might be able to finish up the shawl before the season of lace begins; I might be pushing it though. The pattern knits up pretty fast, the body is only a 4 row repeat. Here’s a link to a photo: Oregon Coast Bigfoot. I haven’t figured out how to get flickr to work with wordpress to insert photos as of yet. I’ll have to read up on that.
I hope everyone else is enjoying their warm up knitting, I know I am!
~Happy Knitting~
