In Finishes, Knitting by Laura | 12 comments
- Pattern: Dulcavina, my own devising.
- Yarn: Malabrigo Lace, 2 hanks Forrest, 1.04 hanks Black.
- Needles: Size 5 (3.75 mm), Knit Picks Options Harmony, and Knit Picks 8 inch Harmony DPNs, same size.
- Elapsed time: March 5 to April 29
- Notes: O.M.G. I love it.
It’s so incredibly soft, airy, lacy, viney… everything I was looking for. Except for the continuing saga of the black yarn, and only needing about 2 grams of the second hank (yes, really), this stole went together like a dream. (It’ll work up easily with three hanks of Malabrigo Lace, if they’re all the same color.) You should feel it! Lovely. I want to wear it to bed, cuddle up in it. I can see why people are so in love with this yarn. Yum. As I said before, I’m hoping to be able to release the pattern about mid May. Let me know if you want to be notified.

Lovely! I happen to have some Malabrigo laceweight in Sealing Wax that just may have to turn into this one :)

Two tone, how interesting.

Oh yes!! I really like that a lot!
I wasn’t sure about the different coloured border at first but now I’ve seen it finished I can see it works very well and I’m very tempted to have a go at two-colour lace.

It looks beautiful! Even unblocked it was very pretty, but blocked lace is magical. I can’t wait to finish mine.

Delicate, light, airy, ethereal. Yes, they all perfectly describe this little bit of hand knit heaven! Like Kathryn, I was unsure of the dark border but it really works. Congratulations!

I didn’t like the two colour thing, all the way through I was saying to myself “why is she doing that?” But now, now I am liking it a lot. I am liking it very much indeed and I am saying “Aha! Now I see. Yes!” :)
