Yum! Looks so much like cotton candy that I have to resist taking a bite. The pattern is Swallowtail, (Interweave Knits, Fall 2006)--a charming design from Evelyn Clark. The yarn is the Count 5 mohair I bought at Yuzawaya a few weeks ago--soft was goose down.
This confection is providing a much-needed respite from the incessant K3togs and P3togs in my Spider King. I had to rip out a row today because I read the pattern sequence incorrectly. That's the first actually tinking I've had to do, but it was a real annoyance undoing those P3tog stitches with a pin. Fooey!
Swallowtail is a great pattern. I just blocked mine today.
ReplyDeleteDear fleegle, Your Swallowtail is so refreshing a color and very fem/fluffy. Reminds me of 50's sweater girls! Sometimes you just need a break from those kick-ass projects. I feel your pain at having to tink back those P3togs with a pin. Big Ouch!
ReplyDeleteLove the color. You are truly Peachy Peachy.
ReplyDeleteI love the Swallowtail shawl. Seeing it with this yarn, it will be gorgeous! What size needle are you using for this delicate yarn?
ReplyDeleteI am using a size 4. I first tried a size 5, but I am not a fan of loose-looking lace.
ReplyDeletemmm--pretty! And boo to tinking any combinations of togs!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. It makes me want to eat your yarn!
