FO: Seraphim

I've been trying to clear up some of my WIPs in anticipation of MS3, which begins tomorrow. With that in mind, I finished working on and blocked my Seraphim Shawl last night. I know that some people don't think variegated yarns work well with lace, but I think this is one case where that is not true. The very subtly colored yarn worked wonderfully with the design, and I love the result.



Pattern: Seraphim by Miriam Felton
Yarn: Knitpicks Bare, dyed by moi
Size: 79.5in wide by 38 in deep
Needles: 3.75mm Knitpicks Options needles


So that's three shawls completed. I think that I will be frogging the last shawl that I have OTN, as I'm finding the pattern not interesting enough. Slogging through all the stockinette on this one was a beast. The shaped triangle shawl is not stockinette, but it is a four-stitch repeat for approx 110 rows, and that is totally not interesting to me right now. I have managed to work on reducing my sock yarn stash, and have cast on another pair of socks, this time using the 2 socks on 2 circs technique. I'm also doing them toe-up, so that there's no yarn left at the end. Maybe this way the socks will get done in a timely manner this summer. I don't have to make my sister's sweater, since she can't figure out what the pattern was. I'm just going to replace that one with my Mystery Stole.

I'm amazed that I've managed to avoid buying any yarn. I even had what I needed for MS3 on hand. I DO go and look though. I just manage to navigate away from the page before temptation gets to me.

Ta for now.
