Armored
I told you there would be some lacy business coming up, and you know I’m not the type to lead you astray (temptation, yes; astray, no)!
I suppose the pattern on this one may be a tiny bit too small scale to truly scratch the lace itch, but the result totally feels lacy to me. Elle, sample knitter extraordinaire, said it reminds her of chain mail, which I totally get. I sort of love the idea of a little wisp of knitting (and this is a silk/yak blend by Bijou Basin…wispy is exactly the word for it) as armor against the world. I’m pretty sure that’s one of knitting’s superpowers!
Oh wow, that is exquisite!
I love your brain. I can understand coming up with a pattern and even drawing it. However, to understand how to take string and tie into a complicated series of knots in order to realize that pattern and then be able to communicate that to others….How do you do that?
(Sits quietly in awe.)
Actually that comment was from me. Sorry about that. The pitfalls of sharing a computer sometimes.
This makes me think of a bunch of starfish (which the Internet claims are called a constellation?). I love it (and the chain mail thought too)!
Gorgeous. Can hardly wait for Curls 2.
i want this. I have been eyeing it up out of all the sneak peeks you’ve posted. This is the most clear shot and Iam even more in love. When’s the book???
Squeeee! love it! Love the post! Love your photo!
I definitely wear my hand knits as armor whenever I need a little protection against the world. This is gorgeous!
