Happy New Year, everyone!! I have good feelings about 2024. But I also felt good about 2020…right before the pandemic and shut down.
My recent FO involves cashmere. Beautiful cashmere! I went to an event at BeWoolen a few months ago featuring Pascuali luxury yarns. Britt-Marie Brehmer was there, wearing a classic capelet that she had just designed in Pascuali 6/28 100% Cashmere. They had a sale and gave us a ball of yarn as part of the event. It was a feeding frenzy! I, of course, bought the most boring color of them all, Graphite, but also a classic. The cowl/capelet had not been named so we suggested she name it after one of the BeWoolen owners. That is where the name Angel comes from.
This was a very slow knit!! There also seemed to be a problem with the stitch count so that the decreases weren’t symmetrical. I made corrections and describe them on my project page. This was incredibly soft while I was knitting, but bloomed and got even softer after blocking. It is really gorgeous.
This is certainly deceptive as it looks like a simple rib. But it is often the plainest items which are most time-consuming.
