Bling

There's a lot to know about knitting. Sometimes it seems that the more you think you know, the more there is to know. You know?

For example, did you know that there is a knitting stitch that produces a fabric so like weaving that it feels and looks like turkish silk carpet?




These swatches are the aforementioned and highly regarded bloomfield yarn, from the lovely Joan through the talented Jae. The feel of this knit fabric is so soft, I think that it reminds me of a silk cravat. So, I think I shall make me one.

My love affair with the feather and fan stitch and all her variations continues unabated.



And finally, I found a use for that tiny .75mm crochet hook I found in an op shop. I've used it to place the beads on as I go with the Mystery Stole 3.



Bling.
