I’ve been knitting this shawl forever. It starts out with a big garter stitch triangle, then you pick up stitches on two sides and knit a wide lace border. I finally finished that part this morning.
The last section is a knitted-on lace edging, which is knit perpendicular to the shawl body, knitting the last stitch of every other row together with a shawl border stitch to attach it. It’s easier to do than to describe it.
Here’s another photo.
This yarn is so squishy soft that I want to keep knitting it forever. It’s from Blacker Yarns.
I might have a few more colors of this in the stash. It also comes in a DK weight, I’d love a sweater out of this.
In other shopping news, I’ve been coveting this bag forever. I finally broke down and bought it. It amuses me that it’s the same color as my Subaru. Army Blanket Green!
I love knitted sideways borders. Your shawl looks so squishy and warm.
I also love knitted on sideways borders. I am about to knit a button band which is knitted first then sewn on. It seems to me would be easier as knitted on border but I’m not sure if it would work. Thoughts?
Pretty, pretty. And evidence that the finger is better?
Looking good!
I’m thinking about buying a Fringe bag too.
In hate sewn on button borders. Yes, by all means, pick up 4 sts for every 5 rows if its stockinette and do a knitted on border. The sewn ones never lay right. garter pick ups are 2 for 1.
About bags… my fav came from the plumbing section of the hardware store. Intended to carry a mess of wrenches for a plumber, so very sturdy. Strong zipper, too. Not expensive. Color choices are black or black.
