(I know I know)Thanks for your comment on my blog. I first saw S.C. in about 2002 so it is possible they were around in the late 90's. And yes, I had to crack and buy a copy of Knitting Nature - itching to get started on a project or two!Roobeedoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395340950409421904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446078032788565854.post-68831870175443921602008-04-17T17:44:00.000+01:002008-04-17T17:44:00.000+01:00Well there you go...I turn my back for a few days ...Well there you go...I turn my back for a few days and you've been knitting like a demon.

I found they were easier to do with a stretchy, firmer yarn such as Rowanspun 4 ply and fiddly with Kid silk haze but less noticable as you got less "bump" I also did one out of angora and that again was easy. I also always do the last 2 rows and cast off in a larger size needle which helps with the blocking. The end result is a very attractive shawl with an elegant border and end. You can see some on my Ravelry page.

Except for knucks, and a sweater I designed and then upsized, I don't think I've knit the same thing a second time.<BR/>Perhaps I should consider a second "shower gasket"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446078032788565854.post-79511225216782882602008-04-15T17:34:00.000+01:002008-04-15T17:34:00.000+01:00Ooh!

As an aside, I did my Icarus in Kidsilk Haze, and love it. It's incredibly light and airy and warm. But you've got to be willing to have a bit of fuzz to use that yarn...Knitting Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289230533275408343noreply@blogger.com
