In Finishes, Knitting, My designs by Laura | 10 comments
- Pattern: Canterbury Bells, my own devising.
- Yarn: Valley Yarns, 2/14 Alpaca-Silk, Navy, 365 yards.
- Needles: Size 5 (3.75 mm), Knit Picks Options in Harmony.
- Elapsed time: May 8 to May 23, 2008.
- Notes: In spite of the fact
that I totally messed up the pattern, because of knitting when I was too tired to pay enough attention to what I was doing, I loved knitting this. The bell-shaped flowers were addictive to knit, and the four-row border knit up so fast once I got into the groove that I was done before I knew it. I always seem to get my grafting line a little too tight, but I don’t think anyone will ever notice it but me.
I hope to get the pattern released around mid June, or whenever Kathryn is done with me. Be sure to sign up for my mailing list, if you want to be notified.

Wow, that is so beautiful!!! Hmm, I don’t think I’m on your mailing list. I’m certainly going over to sign up now!

Another nice shawl you made there. I’m not a big fan on having to knit two panels together, but you’ve done a great job on this one.

Very pretty! I don’t know which I like better, the edging or the center. I may have to add this to the queue!

That is absolutely gorgeous. Probably one of my favorites. I’ll know for sure when I see it in person Monday night. Hopefully the rain will be gone by then so we can sit outside.

Just got the grafting and then blocking to do…..
Yours looks lovely and I love the darker colour.
I wanted to take a photo of my Canterbury Bell plants but everything is slow here and they’re not flowering yet.
