Agatha Shawl
Today we discover just how bad the lighting inside my house is. Obviously, I need a better flash. But in the meantime, we’ll make do with what I’ve got.
And what I’ve got is this:
That would be the Agatha shawl in the bowl from Monday. The pictures really don’t do it justice. At all. The yarn used is Dream in Color Classy, purchased from The Loopy Ewe, in the color Some Summer Sky. The color varigations just shimmer across the lace pattern, accenting it nicely.
The nice thing about this pattern is that, instead of focusing on the yarn-overs and decreases, the lace stitches actually accentuating the flowing section of stockinette.
Also, it’s an uneven triangle pattern, which means the “arms” of the triangle are extra-long. Since it’s knit in a worsted weight yarn, this makes it perfect for wrapping around you on a cold night. Since this is a comfort shawl for a friend of mine battling an illness, it doesn’t get more right.
Sadly, the lighting thwarted any attempts get a decent pictures of the shawl “in use”. This is the best I got, thanks to my Lovely Roommate goofing off with the camera. (Oh, there will be vengence.)
Finally, Snuggles is still refusing to model any of the Bellamoden socks. Instead he’s chilling at the coffee shop, eating my goodies.
