Promises, promises July 21, 2009
Back on July 13 I promised
I’d give you more information about the Sevilla design. I can’t believe it’s been more than a week already! Gads. Sorry about that. Here’s the pattern info for you:
- Pattern: Sevilla, of my own devising, currently being test knit by Dixie.
- Yarn: Fibre-Isle, Kami Bison, 2 hanks in Bleuice.
- Needles: Size 4 (3.75 mm).
- Finished size: 27.5 x 69 inches (pattern written in 2 additional sizes).
- Elapsed time: June 17, 2009 to July 10, 2009.
- Skills: Lace knitting, applied border, double YOs, provisional cast on, grafting.
- Notes: The most difficult thing to do on the WS rows on the center panel is to remember to slip the first stitch of every row. The WS rows in the center are true rest rows. The border is knit on as you go. There are double YOs on the RS rows, and knit and purl sts on the WS. The border was easy to memorize, making it super fast to knit.
I have another finish to share with you. This time, instead of teasing you the way I did last time, I’m going to let you have it right now. It’s the scarf I showed you last week. Yup. It’s all knit, blocked, and being test knit by Elisabeth—all in just over one week. I knit the whole scarf in only three days. Here’s the info:
- Pattern: Quenington, of my own devising, currently being test knit by Elisabeth (sadly blogless).
- Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts, Silkie Socks That Rock, 1 hank in In the Navy.
- Needles: Size 7 (4.5 mm).
- Finished size: 11.5 x 68 inches.
- Elapsed time: July 13, 2009 to July 16, 2009.
- Skills: Lace knitting.
- Notes: This scarf is cast on, knit, cast off, blocked. There are knit and purl stitches on both sides, so it won’t curl, and it looks lovely on both sides—there’s something so very satisfying about reversible scarves! It tries to do a sort of wide ribbing thing before blocking, but after blocking lays flat and is just lovely. This is very satisfying lace.
I’m actually more than half way done with my next project already. I am going to be a tease about this one, though. That’s right. Not a clue. Narry a one. You’ll find out about it some day. Teehee.

With such lovely yarn, it’s no wonder Sevilla is so pretty! I keep seeing praises for Fibre-Isle yarns; I really am going to have to try some someday.
