I'm working on a hybrid shawl pattern that has the shape of Ysolda's Ishbel (which grows wider at a faster pace than it grows deep) and the easy, soothing fir cone motif that makes Evelyn Clark's Shetland Triangle such a fun knit. The pattern has been appropriately named The Sheltering Bough.
I'm using Madelinetosh's madtosh DK yarn in Badlands:
I tried first using some of that new DIC cashmere smooshy I recently picked up but once I got to the lace section the fabric's touch didn't feel right. (Now that'll be a lot of knitting to frog, but) I'm glad I found the guts to abandon it and go with the madtosh DK.
This is a colorway I never would have purchased online. It's charms only became apparent to me when I looked at the skein in person, up close.
The color is very reminiscent of her Cove colorway. The blues in the Cove are still there but of a much deeper hue. As well, the blue is a foil for the numerous shades of umber. The inverse of Cove:
Long Beach Scarf in madosh DK colorway Cove (lighter set of skeins)
Olive Sands raglan sweater in madtosh DK colorway Cove (darker set of skeins)
Maybe, just maybe I'll be done with this this weekend. Maybe.
