Knitting lace....

[mossrose]

Here are 3 scarves I knit for my 3 good friends at one of my Bible studies. I have known these ladies for many years, and I think they liked the scarves.

This is the remainder of the wool that I used in the Spiderweb shawl. I think I have enough for one more scarf. I added beads to all the scarves, just for fun. I like the beads.

First pictures are of the Hanging Garden scarf. I adapted the pattern from the shawl that I knit and referred to earlier in this thread to make the scarf.

Then there is Mist. A new pattern, free from the internet, knits up quickly and is quite pretty.

And, finally, Trellis and Openwork, a pattern I adapted from a shawl in the same book that the Spiderweb shawl pattern is in.

Nice. I don't think I would have the patience to knit anything like that.

Thanks, doll!

They really are easy. It's just yo's and k2 tog. and stuff, but with a finer yarn.

Most of the projects I do are very small, and I've never even tried using lace weight yarn because I figure it'll take forever to finish anything. Even sock yarn to me takes a long time.

The scarves were quick. Did all three in about 6 weeks. Small enough to take out and knit in public, as long as you leave the beads behind, they are a pain.

I knit lace for years without knowing it every time I knit an afghan.

But, to each his or her own. And anybody who knits anything is okay in my book.

:huggy:

I have just finished another scarf. For a friend who made me a very lovely gift.

This is called Diamonds and Triangles, adapted from a shawl pattern. I used sort of turqoise-y beads on it. The colour of the beads is not apparent in the pictures, and they only add a bit of glimmer to the scarf, which I quite like. The wool is "Jay" kettle-dyed merino.

The first 2 pics are the scarf being blocked.

And now the scarf is draped artfully over a tablecloth on a chair. The colour of the yard is more apparent here than in the pics where it is pinned out on my green mats.

2 new projects. Same pattern, same yarn, different colours. Scarves, for 2 wonderful friends.

Ooooohhh, purdy!

That looks a lot like something I've seen a nasty little possum rolled up in.

Ooooohhh, purdy!

Thank you, Laura!

That IS Thirsty's scarf, Crow!



You must ask him nicely if you wish to borrow it.

Ya gotta quit laying them over the couch to photograph like that - they begin to look too much like chair doilies.

The Trellis one would make a beautiful table runner. Done in or with a metallic thread you could make a really great holiday runner!
