A few weeks ago I started
knitting another shawl using Debbie Bliss Rialto Luxury Sock yarn. It is a lovely yarn and I am adding it to my
list of all time favourites. It is 75% wool and 25% polyamide. It is very soft and lovely colours. I understand that Debbie Bliss does not like
knitting socks. They do not appeal to me
either. I have dubbed this yarn – a sock
yarn for those who don’t like knitting socks!
Last weekend – I picked up the
shawl and intended to take it away with me for the weekend, but instead I have
decided to unravel it!
This photo shows how much I have
done. The pattern is annoying me. I have definitely followed the instructions
correctly but the holes do not come out where I would like them to. I could alter the pattern so it looks right
but I think I will start from scratch and make up my own pattern. I must stop being lazy.
When I received the latest issue
of Knitting magazine (July 2017 Issue 169) – I was very pleased to see that it
includes a design by Brian Smith which uses Debbie Bliss Rialto Luxury Sock
yarn. I bought the yarn that has been
used – that is Shade 01 and Shade 07.
When I was looking at the
different shades – I also fell in love with 2 others – so I bought them as
well. If I am happy with this Brian
Smith design – I may knit a second one.
Anyway – so I took the new
pattern and yarn away with me for the weekend – and this is what I have done so
far.
I ought to be doing something
else but I keep picking up the shawl and doing a few more rows.
