After a good month and a half hiatus, returning. I've been to the beach on vacation and two weeks rest. Now back to the hard reality, work and daily struggle.
This post would have put him before I left, because I finished on that date the Birch. This shawl I trying to do several times, with other Mohair wool, English, but I was fatal. In the end, I decided to buy the here Schulana Kid Seta, who started something cheaper than Rowan Kidsilk Haze , which is recommending the model, and whose composition is the same (75% mohair and 25% silk). I am very happy with the result, and the color is gorgeous, I think the photo does not do justice.
This pattern is a triangle and starts with 299 points in each round (I've started with 279), and finished with 3 points. The first laps are eternal, but are steadily advancing rapidly. I used 4.5 mm needles instead of 5 mm as stated in the pattern, in addition to fewer points, as I said, because the model seemed very large (2 m wide). In the end it was a good decision, because despite all the block, has grown enormously.
with mohair and silk weaving has been an experience I hope to repeat. This wool is very fine, it seems to be breaking any stretch, but none of that. In fact I've ever tried to break it with your fingers, and struggled a bit.
