It's been some time since a knitting update, although that's not to say that I haven't been knitting. Instead I have been slow to take photos, often gifting finished items prior to snapping a picture.
The Pattern: Hayley's Comet by Plucky Knitter
My most recent finished knit is Hayley's Comet Shawl, a pattern by Plucky Knitter. This shawl is a relatively easy project with a nice balance of knit, knit, knit as well as a more detailed stitch pattern repeated across one side of the shawl. The pattern was charted which I prefer (written instructions also form part of the pattern). Perfect for TV knitting.
The Yarn: Plucky Bello in the following colorways:
As You Wish
Narragansett Gray
Skies of November
Overcoat
The yarn (which I purchased as a kit for this particular project) is a gorgeous fingering weight yarn - 55% Merino, 45% Cashmere - easy to wind from skein and a pleasure to knit with; no knots, not splitty, no color run, and blocked beautifully. I love these wearable colors and I also really like that the shawl is long, measuring more than 65 inches along the straight top edge. It will wrap and wrap beautifully. Perfect for Winter.
For more photos and all the details including links to the Hayley's Comet Shawl Pattern see my Ravelry page.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Rita. I love the colors.
Knitting takes careful skill -- and especially neatness, and consistent attention. I think you have busted out all three of these attributes. :-D
Amazingly lovely
Happy Week-end.
Lovely! I'm just learning how to knit and would like to do something lik this someday.
