As promised, a finished project post. It came off the blocking board today.
Project Details:
- Pattern: Larch, which is a free pattern available on Ravelry. I’ve renamed it Vinum Mendacium.
- Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy, color In Vinum Veritas
- Needle: 3.25 mm
- Started: February 27th 2020
- Finished: January 5, 2021
- For: ??
- Modifications: None
- Project/Yarn Rating: 5/5 (of 5). The pattern is very simple, I was initially annoyed by the non-paired decreases (instead of using SSK on one side and K2Tog on the other, it just uses K2Tog throughout), but it doesn’t look like it makes any difference in the finished shawl. The yarn is very soft and squishy. It is superwash, and not available any longer, except in my stash, where there lives several different colors of this.
- What I Learned: I actually can finish things if I just sit down and do them instead of starting whatever catches my fancy. The dates would indicate that this took forever, but I started it, knit a few inches, then it hid in a bag until late December.

Beautiful! I have a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy in a very similar color which has been marinating in my stash for too long and this looks like a nice, soothing knit. Thanks for the inspiration (although I should be inspired like you to knit one thing instead of casting on something new…well, next time). Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty! I’m really in the mood to finish something myself; it would help if I would work on one project continuously for a while…
So pretty, and a really beautiful color on you!
Very pretty, love your blog!
BEAUTIFUL!
I love everything about it! The pattern, the size and the COLOR! are all fabu.
Yes, I am hearing the Monty Python bit in my head, thank you.
You just reminded me I have a considerable stash of that yummy yarn somewhere not yet unpacked. Thank you 😊
Oh, the WIP bins! I have two sweaters and 2 nearly done afghans there. I bet it feels really good to have finished that lovely shawlette!
