The Nickels and Pennies Scarf is finished and ready for a few fall motorcycle rides.
No long trip this year as last. *sigh*
I was hoping for a scenic tour of Kentucky.
I was hoping for a scenic tour of Kentucky.
The canceled vacation week did give me opportunity to attend a full day workshop with Gudrun Johnson of The Shetland Trader.
So much learned.
I thought I knew a thing or two about knitting lace. Always room to improve.
The workshop's purpose was to learn the technique of working a lace pattern on both sides of the fabric, thereby making it completely reversible.

Gudrun is in the planning stages of hosting a workshop and tour in Shetland next summer.

How clever.
I do believe I need to look into this concept a bit more.
Seriously.
Seriously.

That shawl is gorgeous with the black leather. I love knits that are reversible so learning lace that way would be absolutely perfect. Great that you learned a lot from that class.
You dress up that black leather really fine! I hope there will be a few day trips instead for you . . . Pictures too please!
An artist you are with those hands and knitting needles!
Lovely indeed . . .
Your shawl is beautiful and your sampler is gorgeous!

Your scarf is absolutely beautiful !
Beautiful scarf looks well on the leathers. Your sample is pretty too
The scarf looks awesome with the leather jacket.... and I agree, certain knit things should be reversible... sounds like a great technique to learn.
Lovely, and I do like the idea of reversible, it just makes sense!
