Quill

As promised, a finished project!

• 

Project Details:

• Pattern: Quill, by Jared Flood
• Yarn: Acme Fibres Select 17 Merino Fingering
• Needle: 3.25 mm
• Started: February 1, 2020
• Finished: July 4, 2020
• For: Baby Shah (and his parents Steph and Paraj)
• Modifications: I did the lace edging with a stockinette background instead of garter. This was a mistake that I didn’t notice until I had several edging repeats done, and I wasn’t about to rip that back. This is the large size, it took a little over 5 skeins of the yarn, just about spot on to the pattern yardage.

This is the second one of these I’ve knit. The pattern is well written, very simple to follow, and would be suitable for a novice knitter. Nicely formatted, it uses knit, purl, basic increases and decreases, picking up stitches along the edge, and doing a knitted on edging. It’s perfect for a baby blanket, but works as a shawl as well. I might make one of these for me someday to wear as a shawl.

This yarn is divine. It is from Acme Fibres, they primarily sell undyed fiber and yarn. This is their Select 17 merino, which is a very fine, lightweight fingering yarn. It is superwash but very soft and lovely.

Project Rating: ***** for both the pattern and the yarn.
