Someone took all the color right out of this day! That’s too bad, because I finished the Japanese Vines scarf, and if there were any color to be found in the atmosphere, these photographs might have done it more justice.
I fiddled and fooled with the color in my photo program, and I thought I brought out some of the beautiful purple and green haze.
But no, I guess not.
Please use your (vivid) imagination.
I absolutely adore this piece. I love the way the leaves tilt, and aren’t those stitches divine? The yarn is the best part — soft and lovely to knit with, and after a Soak it’s full and sweet and oh, just perfect.
- Japanese Vines by Michelle Molis
- Silk/Merino Yarn by String Theory in Maine, 3-ply, approximately 560 yards
- 3.5mm/US4 KnitPicks Options circular needles (nice for this pattern and yarn)
- Modifications: I cast on 63 stitches rather than 47 or 55 and worked 16 32-row repeats
- Finished size is 73″ long by 6″ wide
Now that my New Year’s Day project is finished, I’m not quite sure what to start next. There are many many ideas in the queue, and some incredible yarn has come my way lately, but I don’t have that one thing that I’m itching to cast on right away.
There are always socks going on, so it’s not as if I have nothing to knit. I’m just about to finish the second Pie Crust sock, so I won’t bother to show them now. I think I’ll just knit the sock and see what happens.
Great, now the sun is coming out.
