Lately all of my knitting is things I'm designing and can't post pictures of, which makes for boring blogging. I've been filling in space with projects I finished a while ago and didn't blog.
Here's a recently finished one, though
Cladonia by Kristen Kapur
It's a running joke among my knitter friends that I change everything I knit. Because I always start out saying "I didn't change anything" and then "except..."
Well no exception here. I intended to not change the pattern but then I didn't like the increases so I ripped out several inches to start over. I wanted the increases to be in the second row of each color change, so it would be less obvious. I ended up doing make ones on the purl side, which worked out well, and I was pleased with the result.
I also made the shawl bigger, but that hardly counts, right?
I actually made this color set (Electric Watermelon) for Snowflake Club over a year ago because I wanted to make this shawl with it. Of course it took me forever to actually make it but once I started it, it went pretty quickly.
I actually DIDN'T change the lace at border at all. I think it's perfect as is. And the picot bind off might be a pain in the ass to knit, but it's totally worth it.
