My husband and I didn't go anywhere for our 15th wedding anniversary and I was turning 40 two months later so we took our first trip to San Francisco and Napa. While in San Francisco I, of course, went to Artfibers for some yarn shopping. I found a lovely yarn called Tsuki which is 40% silk and 60% kid mohair. There is a swatch of almost every yarn knitted up in the store. I loved this look and wanted to replicate it in a shawl or scarf.
Beautiful right? Photo is of two colors held together and I bought both. I was told the pattern was some sort of K1B (knit one below) and after much searching I couldn't find anything remotely similar.
A friend sent me a link to the Horai Scarf and I love the look of it...but well, we all know my past record with lace. Not so good. After studying the pattern for a few weeks I decided I'd do a practice Horai with some Filisilk. (Lace + Me + Mohair = Disaster)
So far so good. Finished this project in 10 days! Now to block:
Spent 10 days knitting this thing and then soaked it and another 1.5 hours getting the blocking wires in. Ahhhhh....now for it to dry and be a perfect ending to my first finished lace project.
As I'm walking by the hallway where my masterpiece is drying this is what I see:
Thinking this rotten cat might need to find a new home.
