Newest Yarn!!!

March 17, 2010 in BLOG, ENGLISH, knitting by domoshar | No comments

Angel lace: StardustI have been an active knitter for a year. And by “active” I mean almost 20 projects knitted  – all small and fast but still 20, so I am officially knitting. LOL! I started with worsted yarn, and though I will never move to cobweb… so impractical and so slow… You know – never say “never”!

I got my first lace weight yarn last week. It is Angel Lace one ply alpaca-cashmere-silk blend and is so thin – 1200m in 100g. I must be crazy… But I am happy!

This yarn is one of the The Natural Dye Studio creations. Lovely yarn!

It is not wisteria colourway. Stardust! How lovely this name is!

The Christmas Shawl

January 3, 2010 in BLOG, ENGLISH, Holidays, knitting by domoshar | No comments

Christmas one skein shawl Here is the Christmas shawl. Before blocking. But you will get a good idea of how it looks. Yes, it is better after blocking and it would be good to have some after blocking pictures… but I did not take any apart from the folded one here.

The weight is the thing I really love on this one  – it is approx. 50g. And it is warm too.

Knitting it was meditative activity – fast, easy to memorize, soft and great colour.

This is the fisrt really lacy shawl I made. It was soft and shapeless I was not sure it will block well, but it did block just perfect. More pictures on Flickr.

I am planning new projects with this yarn. Have not chosen the colour yet…

Knitting for Christmas

December 27, 2009 in BLOG, ENGLISH, Holidays, knitting by domoshar | 4 comments

Christmas ShawlI knitted this a few days before Christmas. Just enough before, to be able to finish, block, pack and give in time.

It was a nice fast and soft knit – simple pattern, elegant look, deep colour! It is so light and soft that I am seriously considering making at least three different ones for myself… Dreaming so far. I have lost of other things to do first LOL

My mom is happy with this one. So am I. The first thing I knitted for her! It was surprise. She likes the colour and the style. So I have no choice but be happy with it.

More pictures to be added soon.
