Lace Weight Silk Shawl Kit

The Best as you Guys and always !!

I bought several of these kits to work on after Christmas presents. I am very much looking forward to these... it means good weather will be coming soon.

This shawl is gorgeous and elegant in any color way.

About halfway into my knitting I could tell I was going to run out of yarn. To salvage the situation I reduced the length of the stockinette portion of the shawl before starting the lace border (I eliminated one lace repeat from each side--subtracted 10 stitches from each side of the center). Then I was only able to work two bands of diamonds in the lace repeat. I did a picot bind off since the lace border was so narrow, but had to use yarn from my cast on tail of my to finish binding off. I quite literally used every inch of yarn. Miraculously, the shawl is beautiful. The shorter length and more narrow lace border works proportionally.

I haven’t started the shawl yet. The yarn is beautiful, I decided against the black then but might change my mind. There are some stitches I don’t know how to do but will be learning them in the future.

This kit is great. I love the color choices that were available. The yarn is of premium quality being soft and vibrant in color. The yarn works up nicely and the finished product is light and airy. Love DGY!

I am new to needle knitting, so I bought this to see if I could convert it to a loom knit pattern. I could, but it would be challenging since I would need over 300 stitches. I received a printed pattern on a nice heavy stock paper. This pattern is intermediate and is easy to follow. I selected the beautiful black yarn, but I am planning on doing this with some of the sparkly yarn I received with my yarn of the month boxes too. I am going to wait until my skills are better on needle knitting.

Great thread. Only have just started this project
