ROTOR

It is done. ROTOR is released.
This is a cog in my design machinery.



It started with machines. Cogs, metal, hard, mechanic. 
This hard inspiration met my love of yarn and the construction, the mechanics, the maths of knitting.
As per usual, I landed in the knit stitch. Our cog in the machinery.
Knit and purl being the same thing, but yet so different. It’s all about what side you turn outwards.
The shawl is reversible and beautiful however you wrap it around you. From the inside out. All the way out to the lace. The cogs.
ROTOR is knit from the middle and outwards. It features details like “reversible middle stitches”, I-cord tab cast on and I-cord edges. The panels of stockinette stitch alter, adding purlsides and knitsides to both sides.
If you choose to use another yarn, I would recommend solids to semisolids and variegated, but I would stay away from the self striping for this one…
I am immensly proud of this shawl. Not only of its very architectural design process and the details I've worked so hard on, but of the collaborations it has generated. Easyknits has dyed the spectacular Deeply Wicked yarn in metallic inspired colors just for ROTOR. The prototype is knit in "Copper Petina". 
The pictures were taken at Bäreberg junk yard. One of my favorite places on earth - filled with metallic scraps.

El Luminor Due actualmente viene en cajas de 42 mm o 45 mm de ancho en acero u oro rojo, con las versiones de 42 mm con el P.1000, que es un calibre atractivo,replicas relojes pequeño, de cuerda manual, "3 días". Las variantes de 45 mm, como la que estamos viendo aquí, están impulsadas por el calibre interno P.4000, todavía extremadamente delgado pero complicado, que también ofrece 3 días de reserva de energía pero agrega bobinado automático impulsado por un micro rotor a la mezcla y alrededor de $ 2,000 al precio. Como tal, estamos viendo un Luminor que se vende por poco más de $ 10k. Todo esto notado, con lo que primero tuve problemas fue con el nombre y algunas de las especificaciones del Luminor Due,replicas de relojes así que veamos si esto comienza a tener sentido en la vida real antes de que hagamos nuestra revisión regular del PAM674.
