I’m so glad I decided against using this yarn for the Omelet shawl. The colors of this yarn would have competed with the intricate lacework
of Omelet and both would have been lost in the fight. Dragonfly Wings has been
the perfect pattern. I was a bit worried when I saw that the pattern was 7
pages long (I've had sweaters that were shorter than that) but after reading
the pattern I saw that the designer wrote out instructions for every row. Since
the rows follow logical steps of increases, garter, and straight knitting I
haven’t been tied to the pattern, but it has been nice having every row
(especially how many stitches should be on my needles after every row) written
out for me.
The yarn is Schaefer Yarn in Heather colorway.
It's a merion/silk/nylon blend that is super soft and comfy to work with.
It looks like you have a good start! I bet it is going to be very pretty! :)

I think I would be a bit put off by a 7 page pattern too! I love that yarn, interesting colourway.
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! what a long pattern! Good to know about it however and it is not to be daunting :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! I went through a phase of buying yarn that has colors in it and now I think twice before using it because of the lace detail competing with the colors! Love the knit!
