Here’s the knit I started before Christmas.
It’s from a free pattern called Wingspan. This is a really neat garter stitch shawlette – although mine came out a bit smaller than anticipated. I was only able to finish 6 wedges with my ball of Paton’s Lace, instead of the 8 that the pattern specifies. Either my gauge was way off, or the ball – which was from the mill ends – wasn’t a full ball.
I used a bit of a ball of a solid colour of Paton’s Lace for the 4 rows on the long edge, and put some beads in it to make it look less stark in contrast. This colourway is called Woodrose, and the ivory on the edge is called Vintage.
I’m quite pleased with it and am going to cast on another.

Love it! I made one out of some Noro. It was a strange blend with cotton and bamboo and wool and nylon I think. I’ve worn it a bunch.

I’m working on one of those right now – it’s a fun pattern! Mine is with Kauni, in a royal to navy gradient.

Ah! I have that Kauni! I used it as a background colour on my DH’s cardi, the Elrond Sweater.

Gina – I have some Noro queued up for this. It’s Silk Garden Sock, and I’m looking forward to seeing the stripey goodness.

If you hadn’t mentioned it no one would ever know the ivory color wasn’t supposed to be there! It fit in perfectly and looks wonderful. Now I’d like to see a picture of you wearing it.
