If knitted from the short end you make visible progress, if knitted the other way you never have far to go!

So far all my planned shawls (not started, no) are rectangles, because I know I would lose speed on the wide end of the triangle!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-44319419092426868982013-09-01T16:09:54.307+09:302013-09-01T16:09:54.307+09:30Thanks Margaret, the

It is a stunning pattern and one day I would like to attempt one when I have spun up some laceweight alpaca. Oh there is so much wooliness in my head at the moment. As for markers I use a knot of contrast yarn with a 3cm tail that nice weaves itself along as I knit up. They are very easy to remove and the tail leaves a trail which is handy at times.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18203034266623357526noreply@blogger.com
