Sky Above, Earth Below
In October, I went to a knitting retreat in the San Juan Islands (Washington State). The hostess of the retreat was Sivia Harding, who is a knitwear designer. Prior to the retreat, she sent all the retreat participants a number of her patterns. That way, we could pack accordingly... what yarn to buy, what needles to bring, and so on.
"Sky Above, Earth Below" is one of her patterns. You can make a multi-colored larger version of the shawl or you can make a small version using just one skein of fingering weight yarn. You can also opt to add beads or not.
Here is my one-skein version of Sky Above, Earth Below. The yarn is from Sun Valley Fibers (Merino Wool, Cashmere Goat, and Nylon) and the colorway is called "Crimson Leaves". I did not do a gauge swatch before starting this project and I noticed I was running out of yarn as I was nearing the end. I had to skip a number of rows at the end. Perhaps I was knitting too loosely and used up the yarn too fast. Oh well!
I have completed a bunch of other projects in the past several weeks. I'll take a little time to show you over the next few days.
