Trinidad: July 2005 Archives

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?).
