Hand Spun Yarn

It’s time to knit!  Using my hand spun yarn, another section to my scarves will be added.  This year two different lace patterns are taking shape. 

Elizabeth Ravenwood’s Estonian lace pattern arrives mid month.  Taking the previous scarf section from their shelter, we begin.  Yarn is a mystery fiber that was received several years ago from estate offering.  Now is the time to label your fiber content—so this won’t happen to your stash!  I could do a burn test to find out fiber content—feels like silk, so going on that assumption, stitches are applied!  It’s all good anyway!  I’m paying homage to the fiber owner.

Just perfect—

I found the right shade of beads in bead cabinet and we took off on this lovely adventure January 15, 2025–sometimes the designer will release a couple of days in advance—

Using Knit Companion on my tablet is a big help! 

The second scarf begins first of the month with Shetland lace patterns designed by Toni Lorenz—I enjoy her designs and try to participate each year in her lace projects. 

This year the pattern was unique and unusual construction

Each month branches off in angles forming a V in middle

Picking up stitches off previous section to knit another branch.  Each section features different Shetland lace design

When this is blocked, there will appear a delightful shawl to wear in cool weather.  

It takes my diligence to keep on track to knit from first of month to 15th—do not want to fall behind! 

Knit on hand spun is a joy!
