Trinidad
I was inspired by Carrie's Trinity Shawl (secret project number 3). I've been looking for a project to match up with my Millefili Fine and that shawl looked like a great fit.
I knit up a swatch and I loved the look, but the pattern was a bit of a pain to knit. Similar to ribbing, the yarn was going in front and behind the needles with just about every stitch, and then the wrong side rows were purled.
So I played with the stitches and came up with a way that was easier for me to knit.
Here's where I am (about 6 inches tall)
I love it! I had a couple of false starts getting the increases right, and then finding a good needle size so it would stay airy.
I want to add beads to the edge, attached with a simple edging (maybe a crochet chain?).
It is a great start, Jody. Very pretty fall colors too. I love the idea about the beads on a crochet chain.
Have a good Sunday~
That looks pretty awesome! Very airy and lacy!
Good to finally see that pattern knitted up! I have run into the Trinity Stitch pattern severel times, but couldn't get an idea of what it would look like (yes, I'm swatch impaired). Looks like a perfect match with the yarn and colorway.
that looks lovely! I think I might make one too...with some beauti-mous sock yarn. What size needle are you using?
Very pretty!
That's awesome! I can't wait to see that all done and blocked out.
its going to be great! i really like how airy yet structured it looks.
Gorgeous fall colors! This will be so pretty all complete - and I definitely think the beads on the edges sound perfect.
It looks very pretty. How large will it be? Will you keep the same pattern throughout it?
