I really enjoyed knitting Romi Hill's Carson pattern (except maybe for the lace edging, when I just wanted to be done already, there were so many stitches on one row). The way the two-colored section works is so genius and simple at the same time. I think I want to knit this pattern again, with a different color combination. Choosing Wollmeise Pure in colorways Wolke WD and Grashüpfer WD (both colors I received in a grab bag as surprise skeins, neither color necessarily being something I would have chosen myself originally) may have been a surprising move from me. I really enjoyed knitting with these colors, but I have to say the finished shawl, while pretty, is probably something I will not end up wearing myself. It will likely end up being gifted to someone who is more comfortable wearing this color combination. That's fine, though. If I really end up knitting 12+ shawls again this year, I don't think I need that many new ones for myself, anyway.

This is absolutely gorgeous, such skill and patience.
ReplyDeleteThanks you! This project didn't require nearly as much patience as some others.
DeleteBeaturifully knitted! The part with both colors is stunning! I was surprised by the colors it's true! I'm a person who always wear neutral colors: lots of black, gray and blue. When I knit, I always choose bright colors that I enjoy but never end up wearing much! I'm not sure why ;-) Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI'm now curious to try some other, unusual for me, color combinations :).
DeleteGorgeous colors!
