Brickless - Off the Needles

| Brickless shawl/scarf March 2016 |
Oddly, most of the "purple" bled out when I soaked the piece for blocking. I added some vinegar to the rinse water just to be safe. The photo above reflects the true color of the yarn.

Knitting notes on earlier posts: Brickless Scarf and Brickless Progress.
One more skein of yarn Slashed from my Stash.
I'm glad you have enough yarn. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhew! That was a close one :) Wow Nancy, it's absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhew! It's so lovely. Glad you had just the right amount of yarn.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I once had some yarn that bled and bled after it was knitted into socks. It was ugly yarn that had been over dyed too many times. I finally stripped all the dye out and ended with a vaguely grayish color that I then dyed with grape koolaid.
ReplyDeleteI would be so disappointed in the color change but the shawl is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful! Congratulations on the finish, wear it in good health.
ReplyDeleteThe texture on that shawl is really beautiful. And the more neutral color is pretty too, although I'm sure you are disappointed to lose the purple. Have you had that problem with yarn before?
ReplyDeleteBrickless looks beautiful. I LOVE those sharp points.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when you end up with just a tiny bit of leftover. I know it's a little worrisome when you see that ball getting smaller and smaller, but when it all works out ----- FANTASTIC and very little waste!
Looks beautiful, anxious to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Isn't it great when you have just the right amount of yarn?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the eyelet lace.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it! It's hard to knit when you're holding your breath, isn't it? So glad you had just enough yarn! It's beautiful. That's a pattern I need to try.
ReplyDeleteSeveral shawl knitters, including you, have convinced me I need to knit myself one. I refuse to start one yet. Must finish two knitting projects that aren't seeing a lot of action. Some day I'll knit a shawl. This one is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful shawl! I like the grey with purple highlights. I'm a sucker for grey yarn. Isn't it interesting that we each have color preferences for yarn that we go to over and over again?
ReplyDeleteNancy that came out so beautiful! I can't believe you finished with just 5 grams left. Lucky you! It is so lovely
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! You were cutting it close with the yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this pattern now. It looks really good in your photos both in the purple shots and the more gray photos. This just proves what a great pattern it is especially in a tonal yarn. I'm going to put it on the list for sure for 2016. I definitely have something I can stash slash this with!
ReplyDeleteNice finish. Someday I'll knit a lace scarf but not yet. I need to whittle down my quilt UFOs.
