Over a week ago I finally finished my Echo-flower-shawlette. Rodprjonar, Gummi and me did this one as a Knit-Along in our little Knit-Along-group of three... you can take a look at Rodprjonars shawl here.
This shawl really looks a lot more complicated than it really is, and if you aren´t knitting about 20 other things on the side like I did, it shouldn´t take too long. I really love the nupps, the flower-chart and the way the main-chart and edge-chart flow perfectly together. I wouldn´t be surprised if I made this one again one day...
Details:
yarn: einband, dyed with blueberries, I picked in the lavafields with my mum last fall
needles: 3,5 (I have a really loose gauge, when knitting lace)
and here you go:
Þetta sjal er SVO fallegt!!
ReplyDeleteFannst þér auðvelt að strekkja það? Það er a.m.k. miklu auðveldara en að strekkja Hyrnu Herborgar, er það ekki? :) (geturðu trúið því að hann Gummi er ekki búinn að strekkja sjalið hans!!??)
Litirnir eru svo flottir! Svo rólegir!
Takk fyrir minn kæri!
ReplyDeleteEcho Flower er æði - á örugglega eftir að prjóna það aftur. Það er líka frekar fljótlegt að prjóna og ótrúlega auðvelt að strekkja, einsog þú varst búinn að segja!
En ótrúlegt að Gummi sé ekki búinn að strekkja, he he... :-D
Fallegt! Og litirnir, eins og að horfa á bláberjaskyr! jömm!
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is so pretty. I really like the two feminine colors, and it's so neat that you created the colors yourself! How fun and inspiring to have those two to knit shawls with.:-)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful shawl you have knitted, Kristin! The pattern is very pretty, and I really like the colours.
ReplyDeleteI hope there will be enough blueberries in the woods around here in summer for both jam and dyeing :)
Have a great new week :)
Jóhanna: takk fyrir! Bráðum færðu bláberjaskyr!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteJudi A. Thank you! I feel so lucky that I get to knit with Gummi and Rodprjonar! They really are inspiring and wonderful people!
Hilde: thank you so much! I really hope you get some blueberries to dye with (or crowberries, small, hard and black - they are really pretty too)! :-)
