Lace from the Sea



The Shetland Triangle shawl is great for conference-knitting when you can't spend every moment looking at your knitting or a pattern.

I knit it from luxurious Handmaiden Sea Silk, easy to knit with and luscious to touch. The yarn is a bit slippery so I recommend using a bamboo needle.

Using 11 pattern repeats to give a 6 ft. width to the shawl, I used all of one ball plus just enough extra to bind off the final row. (I think my husband may knit this same shawl with the second ball and knit only 10 repeats.)

    That looks beautiful. There's a real lustre from the silk. What a nice idea.

    I love the look of that scarf. It look very soft in the photo. How big is it?

    I just started one in seasilk too! It's so soft! I have to say that my bamboo needles were spliting more than my KnitPicks needles were so I've gone back to the knitpicks.
