Lacy Alpaca Scarf – Secret Knitting vol5

Mustrimaailma Pitsiline salakudumine 2015

There is a secret knitting going on at www.mustrimaailm.net an Estonian forum for knitters and crocheters. This time the theme is a lacy scarf.

And here is the scarf finally finished πŸ™‚

You can see the scarf after the first clue HERE
After the second clue HERE
And after the third clue HERE
And after the fourth clue HERE

The last clue was given on the 10th of June and after that there was a bit of knitting, blocking and here I am with the final result.

Yarn: Lamana Piura 00 (white)
Needles size 3

I have got to say that I do like the yarn, it is suitable for bit warmer shawls and it holds the form nicely if you knit it the right way (in this scarf I followed the pattern but if I would knit the same scarf again I would change the pattern a bit so that the edge would hold better). I will definitely use the same yarn again, and recommend it to all who need a shawl/scarf for colder times of the year. I also have some red Lamana Piura and can’t wait to find a pattern to knit with it.

The next two pictures are taken by my son who is seven years old. We took them by the peony because to me the pattern reminded me of them and when there was a vote on what the name of the scarf should be then it turned out that others saw flowers too because the name of the secret knitting shawl became Tiina lilleaed (Tiina’s flower garden; Tiina is the author of the pattern). The pattern is now available in Ravelry.

Hi again πŸ™‚ I have not been knitting for couple of months, I couldnΒ΄t. In the beginning of May I was diagnosed with myocarditis and I was on bed rest with strict orders to actually rest in bed (instead of knitting). But I stopped knitting months before I was actually diagnosed because I just did not have the strength to do it πŸ™ Now I have been resting (and eating medications) and feel much better.

I saw a forum post on www.mustrimaailm.net (pattern world in estonian) that is one of the estonian forums for crocheters and knitters. The post was about a secret knitting projet, you know a project where at first you are given only a part of the pattern and after a while another part and another part. So that when you start knitting you actually donΒ΄t know how the finished item will look like. This time the subject of the secret knitting was a lace scarf. And, I thought that I would give it a go and see if I can start knitting again πŸ˜€

And here is the shawl after the first clue πŸ˜€
I chose white Lamana Piura (100g/800m) for the yarn and used number 3 needles.
When you look at the pictures and see that the yarn is not “white” white then you are absolutely correct, the color of the yarn is actually something between natural white and cream.

And a small note about the shape – the two edges that are not on the knitting needle are actually the top edge (longest edge) of the shawl. It is knitted outwards from the center of the top edge.
