Endurance: Shackleton’s lost ship is found in Antarctic
:-O . Actually in pretty good shape (I thought that ship was totally crusged by ice)
When Kylie, Heather and I went to Rhinebeck back in October, I ended up getting a beautiful skein of Malabrigo Sock Yarn. I hadn’t intended to buy it, but when we went to a little yarn shop called Fabulous Yarns which was giving away goodie bags (awesome), they had the Malabrigo on sale and I just couldn’t pass it up. Such pretty purples, and it looks a little bit different whenever the light changes.
Of course, since the yarn was so lovely, I needed to find a perfect pattern to make. I decided right away that I didn’t want to make socks, since I wanted to make something that would be more visible. After a bit of humming and hawing (hawwing?) I decided that a shawl would be the ideal type of knit to make from this yarn.
I wanted something simple, to show off the lovely colours in the yarn, but also something with drape and some interest, so I didn’t get bored knitting it.
I ended up going withAntarktis by Janina Kallio, which is just beautiful. The pattern is well-written, it is simple to knit but not boring, and it shows off the colours of the yarn so nicely. When i purchased the pattern, she had a buy 2 get one free sale, so I have two other patterns to look forward to knitting in the future!
