It’s complete – Elina’s bias shawl made from Midas – but that’s Mari modelling it. Due to its stretchy, drapey nature I crab stitched around the outside edge. I thought this yarn was difficult to knit with, but crocheting was nearly impossible. It took a long time but I’m happier with the product. Someone commented that this shawl was pretty enough to be considered jewelry. It was expensive enough to be considered jewelry! I hope she’ll wear it more than once. Oh thank goodness this project is finished.
At Chicks With Sticks, one of the women had bought extravagant bamboo yarn and continued the splurge by buying ebony knitting needles. "Why," my husband asked, "is knitting bamboo yarn on bamboo needles not Kosher (like mixing dairy with meat)?" Clever, I thought, but good he recognizes that there are different kinds of knitting needles.
And if you haven’t seen this, it’s worth a laugh – Gangsta Knitters.
