I’m on something of a self-imposed time-crunch here (I’m going to be leaving in a couple of hours to be from my house for a couple of days, and want to get whatever comes of this printed before I leave), and I have a query for you.
Given the following:
- You have 925 yards of lace-weight yarn.
- Your preferred needle range for this weight yarn is between a US3 (preferred, since I happen to have a spare kicking around right on my desk) and a US5 (anything bigger makes you feel like you might as well be arm knitting).
- You do not do provisional cast-ons for shawls, as they make you twitch, and you never pick things back up correctly.
- No bobbles.
- You do not have enough random beads on hand to be able to incorporate beads into the project.
The question is: What do you knit?
Tell me!
(In the interest of full disclosure, here are my current leading contenders: Tiong Bahru, Begonia Swirl, Morrígan, Blooming Shawl, Leaf Evolution Shawl, Lace Lace Shawl, Ryanne, and Twig and Leaf. Even any help narrowing down these options would be a great help!
So what did you pick? I like the Blooming Shawl.
I ended up continuing to obsess about what I should cast on, and kept searching. My queries finally led me to Lapidarius, a wonderful geometric scarf. It technically doesn’t meet my criteria, because it’s on US 2s, which was outside of my stated range. But, I’m enjoying it thus far (all 3 rows of garter stitch that Ive done so far). I’ll keep you all posted!
Ooops, I meant to include a link:
