For the past two weeks, I've been knitting on Starry Night, a lacy scarf or shawl. It will be shawl size, but it will probably end up being worn as a scarf. I'm thinking of changing its name to The Infinity Shawl though because it seems to be never ending. It may be the year infinity before I finish it.
Two weeks of knitting and I'm only at the 29 inch mark. I have no idea why it's taking so long. It's an easy pattern and nice yarn to work with. The yarn is not at all splitty, or so slippery that it falls off the needles accidently, nor does it hug the needle & refuse to move from one to the other. It feels great in my hand. It has just, for unknown reasons, become a lifetime project. Probably because it knows I have other things to finish before Christmas.
Here's a close up in bad lighting.
I love the slight color fluctuations. And I really love the glitz it gets from the tiny bit of silver thats been spun into the yarn. The yarn is Night Sky from Swift Fiber Studio which is a great shop on Etsy. The owner is very friendly so if you are in the need of yarn, stop by.
Here's another close up:
For once, those little fuzzy things that look like dog hair stuck all over the yarn, aren't dog hair. They are tiny bits of silver that have been spun into the yarn. The little bits of silver give the finished product the appearance that you were probably working with silver glitter some time over the last few days. It's simply gorgeous!
And as a space filler,
Minnie says she's been a good girl. It wasn't her that got into the trash can. Really, Santa, it wasn't.
Max says, "Yum, that was tasty. When's the next meal?"
