I have been working on this amazing knitting project — as my first lace project… talk about adventurous!
The Shipwreck Shawl
I started it in mid-May and just finished on Tuesday…. mine is currently a cream color, with purple beads…. soon to be a purple color, with purple beads…. Brian and I (knitting friend) are going to be dyeing them soon hopefully — I want to wear it out for my bday!!
looks gorgeous Kristen, as always
that’s not my actual one — it’s the sample pic from the pattern but i’ll be sure to post a pic of mine…. shame it won’t have the ocean as a backdrop?
Take it to the sea – or failing that, the local swimming pool
OMG. That is an incredible accomplishment. I have the yarn (already dyed, custom), the beads (which I’m slowly using in other projects; I have the bead bug), and have printed the pattern in color and black and white. I’ve even wound one hank into a ball.
Never started it. Yet. I’d planned to knit it on vacation in the Keys, but we were staying on the water (well, not ON, you know) and it was salty and muggy and I figured the silver in the yarn and the beads would tarnish.
At least, it worked for me! I did nothing on it. Yet. But I will.
Photos! I can’t wait to see them!
P.S. Pay our airfare to the Keys and I can show you a really good beach to photograph it on……
lol yeah yeah — i’m sure i’ll find a nice spot to photograph it… just have to dye the thing now — that’s the scariest part!!
