A Warming Triangle

When I created my blog my thought was that I should have a maximum of 3-4 projects going on so they could be finished in a reasonable time. But it seems like I have difficulties in holding on to that.
For the moment I have 3 knits, 1 crochet and 1 cross stitch embroidery advancing at different rates.
Moreover I feel like starting sewing as well...

This shawl in a classic Shetland lace pattern, I made for a friend a couple of years ago. You find the pattern 'Shetland Triangle' in the book Wrap Style and on Ravelry.


The shawl is made in Japanese silk. I bought the yarn many years ago at the yarn shop Menita in Helsinki.


Silk is so beautiful with its lustre and drape but it needs a gentle handling.


There's no limit to how many warming wraps you can have. Elegant, casual, classic, sporty, chic, you name it.
They are so useful!
I really like this pattern and this time I'm going to knit it in this yarn in silk and merino wool.





I bought the yarn at Svalan, a nice yarn and craft shop here in town.


My fourth ongoing knitting project..., with a pattern that is surprisingly simple and fun to knit.
