A love story about a yarn...
Sometimes you get a yarn in your hands, so lovely you
almost don’t want to wind it up or even disturb
the pretty skein. But your hands yearn to knit it.
the pretty skein. But your hands yearn to knit it.
So I knit, yet another stockinette, triangular shawl...
Because I wanted to feel this yarn. I wanted to see it shine. But how to finish it?
I have frequently browsed through edging patterns and shawl patterns for inspiration to finish a stockinette triangle. This time -nothing- fitted because I knew exactly what I wanted. So I ended up drawing it up myself - A leaf. Just the right size for the gauge. Then doing the math, fitting the leaves

together and fitting the middle leaf to the middle stitch.
And by the way: What a difference a purl makes!
Opsa - I made a shawl. And as a bonus, the same chart can be used to make a kick-ass stole!
The wonderful yarn is called Splendor and can be found at Easyknits.co.uk
Pattern availible in english or Swedish.
