FO no 9, 2006, triangles within triangles shawl
Some people get their adrenalin kick from extreme sports or big heights or speeding or whatever. I got mine yesterday from this:
Main body of shawl done, 3/4 of border done. Look at what's left of the yarn. Parachuting is for whimps. This is the real thing.
Of course I ran out of yarn. But I'd rather run out of this particular wonderful yarn than find myself having knit the shawl and have left-over yarn. You don't get left-overs from cashmere. You use it all, and find some solution or another for the lacking 1/4 border. My solution was a bit of lace wool in shade applewood from handpaintedyarn.com. Double stranded. The handpainted is a different story. I'm sure I'll get back to that.
The "solution" is visible of course, but I don't mind, neither does younger girl:
details:
yarn: hipknits cashmere sock yarn shade pink/brown, this shade is only available from loop - I got it as a gift from lovely Kris! And only one skein - 500 m made this big shawl!(well, yes, at least close....)
pattern: triangles within triangles, downloadable version can be bought here.
needles: inox (the best for lace - the pointiest tip!) circular size 6 mm.
This was the second lace shawl I made. Here is the first one.
There will be more.

| It´s not only your shawl, that´s extraordinary beautiful, it´s also your pictures which make the shawl so special. It´s fantastic, and what a lovely wrap for soft, cool, romantic summer evenings. Und dank deiner Beschreibung kann man direkt fühlen, wie weich und flauschig er ist. Wunderschön! |

| That has to be the most beautiful knitted garment I have ever seen made from our cashmere sock yarn. |

| Congrats on finishing the shawl! And I agree with the using up every last strand of cashmere. The pictures are great, the shawl looks great... thanks for sharing! |

Hvor er det sjal altså bare superflot - og det må være en drøm i blødhed. Du har helt ret: der skal ikke være rester i cashmere-garn - det skal bruges rub og stub - også selvom det giver tilbageholdt åndedræt og alt muligt undervejs.
Tillykke med det!

i second marie's comment about the galloping horse!
what an absolutely gorgeous shawl and the perfect solution for using that wonderful cashmere.
the photo's of your daughter are absolutely priceless. |

| it's absolutely stunning! so beautiful! and the photos are amazing - the light, the movement, your daughter looks like like a summer princess! And that little cheating with a different yarn - I do that too, all the time, I can't stand leftover yarn, so I run out of yarn every second time I knit something! If you can't see it from a galloping horse, then never mind! |
