| Boneyard Shawl on the lawn -- wrist watch in upper right corner |
In progress, with maybe 30 grams of yarn yet to be knit from the formerly 100 gram ball, my Boneyard Shawl project is coming along. Elizabeth Zimmermann is so right about a laceweight yarn project being the perfect take-a-long knitting task. I'm not looking at a chart or counting as I knit, so I can keep up a conversation and still knit.
I moved the stitches onto two long needles this week and spread the shawl out on grass. The longest side is almost 40 inches already and, as you can see, I have some knitting to do yet.
This scarf/shawl has given me pleasurable knitting hours in Great Britain, Wisconsin and Michigan. Whether on a bus, sitting by the lake or riding in a car, this is my 2012 summer knitting project that relaxes.
The specifics:
- Yarn: Lace Ball, 100 gram ball
- Needles: US#5 circular -- 40"
- Free pattern: Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West, found on Ravelry.com
- First blog post about my Boneyard Shawl
