Hemlock Ring doily- now shawl;)


Ya just never know what you'll find on the 'net- Sometimes, even- inspiration. This is one of those weeks. In the knitterly way! I found the Hemlock Ring Doily Pattern- via

Brooklyntweed.

Jared- (AKA Brooklyntweed) used a hefty yarn and big needles to transform a 1942 knit doily pattern into a blanket. I've changed needles and yarn (yet again) to turn the same pattern into a shawl. It's my first attempt at a circular shawl, I was hesitant to try one. (No real answer for why- I use circs all the time- and dpns and knit in the round)

I'm using US #3's for a nice, full lace look. (I wanted something more substantial after all the lace weight- in the MS3) The yarn is Colinette's "Jitterbug" in beautiful rich colorway- "Velvet Plum." The yarn is a lovely, squishy, soft merino fingering weight. The colorway is a tonal semi-solid- and the stitch definition is great.

Between knits and laundry I've been prepping the guys for back to school...... shoes backpacks...clothes...supplies......All the while trying NOT to think about a year from now- when the oldest will be leaving for college!

A post on those thoughts is coming soon...... it's all about TIME... and running out of it!

Knitting is a rather nice and productive avoidance technique ;)
