Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

True to form, when I find a pattern I like, I repeat it.

This was the first one, no so long ago. The current one is done in the same yarn, just a different colour.

Pattern: Cresent Moon Shawl from Easy Crochet, Complete in Three Days (In your dreams Three Days).

Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn, colourway 252, 185 grams (just under two skeins). 

Hooks: Scarf – 4.0mm Edging: 3.0mm

Modifications: Due to Noro's thick and thin qualities, I adjusted the puff stitches according to yarn thickness, anywhere from three to five pull-throughs of the yarn. 

Thoughts: It is impossible to knit with Noro yarns and not have to adjust the colour sequence. I tell myself I won't give in, but sometimes it's necessary whether due to knots causing sudden colour changes or the way the colours pool in a particular project. This time I cut out two sequences of the bright green, leaving me short for the picot edge. An old Noro Silk Garden scrap came to my rescue.

(Note to Katy and anyone else who has requested my Herringbone Rib Scarf pattern, but hasn't received one: Thanks for your your pattern request, but your comment, submitted through your Typepad profile, doesn't contain an e-mail address. If you leave another comment outside your profile, it will ask for an e-mail address that won't be published and I'll get it to you right away.)

    I love when the patterns claim that projects are super-quick. Even if the project is worth making, the projects are rarely as quick to make as they claim.
    I like the blues. Nice, cool colors.

    Ooh! Ooh! I didn’t know we could request a pattern!!! I’d love one – I’m a knitter but my daughter crochets and I showed her this project and asked her if she’d make it for me…. of course she said yes!
    Thank you!!!
