Ta-da! It's a...well...scarf-shawl thing, in the shape of a moebius (a circle with a half-twist, so it only has one surface and one edge). It's totally seamless, except for three edge stitches which were grafted at the very end. I would definitely knit this pattern again, even though it was such fine yarn that there were almost 400 stitches in each row...each of which took over 30 minutes to knit. |
Here's a close up of the stitch texture. (The picture above is more accurate color-wise.) It's a fairly simple reversible lace pattern. What makes it reversible is the fact that it's garter stitch lace...and when you work garter stitch in the round, it means: purl every other round. Ugh. Now you know why it took 30 minutes a round. |
Can't say much about this one right now, except to say it's the oddest thing I've ever started knitting in my life. It proves that I am, indeed, a knit-nerd. (I know, I know, what a horrible tease I am!) I'll leave you with a picture of the lovely swatch. And yes, that is mohair, and no, it is not giving me a horrible allergic reaction...yet, anyway. |
