I have had so many requests for a wrap/shawl design version of my Venetian Scarf that I couldn't resist starting it. I decided to exaggerate the borders and of course widen it as well.
Since it hasn't been blocked, it doesn't look like much yet, but I'm happy with the proportions and can't wait to get it finished. I would love to get done in time for my trip to Yarn Market News in Portland OR in early March. So far I have 16" completed which is a long way away from the 63" (before blocking) that I have calculated I should be able to get out of the lace weight yarn.
Ok....so the inner nerd in me says that I need to knit about 2.5" a day. Seems do-able but could be close.
I am using some yarn I have had in my stash from a incredibly talented indie dyer from Indiana, Sheepytime Yarns. I am using the Gossamer Lace that is 1312 yards of 80% Merino Wool, 20% Silk in color Black Water. Its really been great for lace knitting.
