Picot Dot Wrap - revisited
 |
| Picot Dot Wrap off the needles November 2016 |
Actually, it resembled a colorful sting ray. I seriously questioned whether the pronounced hump in the middle would even come out in the blocking, but . . .

with a few hundred pins, I managed to straighten the edge.

Once the shawl dried completely, it was ready for its photo shoot.
The center hump is slightly visible, but it has been tamed enough to wrap around the neck.
Pattern: Picot Dot Wrap by Cheryl Zuccaro
Yarn: Kauni wool
colors EC (black/grey - 140g - used 69g) and EQ (rainbow - 160g - used 85g)
Needles: US size 6
The pattern states the kit will make 2 shawls - colors reversed. My finished shawl used 154 total grams of wool, and I have 146 grams remaining. By adding a bit of another black yarn, I will have enough to knit the second shawl.
You create the most beautiful things!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! That picot edge just kicks it up a notch, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteNancy The knitting is fantastic. YOu created a gorgeous shawl. BLocking is an issue for me . Allison seems to block well and get it to behave. I think it is lovely Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautifully Nancy. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like the picot edging. I had a pattern I did that had that (Fisherwoman's Cowl). When I first saw that I had to do a 'picot' I had a panic attack but found they are pretty easy to do. You Tube videos are a blessing for a beginning knitter!
ReplyDeleteI knew it was going to be pretty but it surpasses my expectations! It's amazing! Love the picot trim.
ReplyDeleteGreat result.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get it to behave. It looks great now!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooo, Nancy! That is BEAUTIUFL!
ReplyDeleteOh I like it, you could wear it with just about any color!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I LOVE the colors.
ReplyDeleteHow apt a description -- colorful sting ray. After blocking it looks great. Do you steam it while pinned? Do you have to re block shawls after washing?
