Finally, FINALLY, this thing is done. What I thought would be a quick project and Mother’s Day present ended up taking over a month: a loooong time for me. I like to finish projects quickly and work on them constantly until they are done, so this was a killer for my project mojo. The white Knit Picks Aloft yarn knitted up nicely and is so so lovely and soft and fluffy…but it was my first time working with lace weight yarn and I swear I was about to go blind.
The pattern itself is fairly straightforward and simple: there is a three-stitch garter border around some easy lace. The chart is about 46 rows and repeats 13 times…silly me thought “I will just keep going until I run out of yarn” but by the time I reached repeat 13, I was DONE. I wanted to move on to something else before I lost my mind and all my vision.
Washed and blocked, it measures about 5″ across and maybe 45″ long. I would have liked it a little bit longer but it is long enough to wrap around your neck without getting in the way. My mom loves it and was wearing all day on Sunday, despite the fact that it was about 92 degrees.
