I felt like playing with a particular lace
This was the result
and I like it so much I'm about to cast on one for myself in blue
pattern - improvised
needles - 3.75mm & 4.5mm KP Harmony
yarn - Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8ply in Ruby
This isn't by any means the first time I've used Luxury, which is a nice, soft, machine washable little workhorse of a yarn with only one drawback. It grows like nobody's business the first time it hits water. Now if one happens to know that, one can [to a certain extent ] allow for it, but it does still make 'improvising' in this yarn a bit of a gamble size wise. This time, with the help of some swatching and some maths, I pretty much got the desired result ... even if The Girl does still think it's a little loose.
anyone want the pattern ?
It's so pretty! And a great colour (but you knew I'd say that, didn't you?!)
ReplyDeleteyeah I knew that :)

ReplyDeleteI would dearly love to have the pattern as I have some lovely mauve yarn that would look great knitted up
