I finally blocked the Luna Moth and I’m so relieved that it’s done. Please excuse the rather crappy pictures, it was a dark and cloudy day.
Pattern: Luna Moth
Needles: Size 5US/3.75mm Addi Lace Needles
Yarn: Super Kydd from Elann (approximately 2.5 balls)
Started: April 30, 2007
Finished: July 26, 2007
I didn’t make any modifications other then adding more repeats to make the shawl a little bigger. I didn’t keep track of how many repeats I did. Nor did I measure the shawl. I’m just a lazy bum. :-)
I can’t say this was one of my favorite knits. I battled the mohair too many times for that. And although the pattern is simple, I never could quite get the rhythm of it down. Usually I find some sort of harmony in the stitch pattern and it just didn’t happen for me this time around.
Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Musical knitting? I know some of you are shaking your heads at me, but I swear that there are times when I’m knitting lace when everything just clicks and there’s a certain beat to my needles as they click to the pattern stitches. Surely I’m not the only one who’s experienced this.
Either way, I’m glad to put this shawl behind me and move on. What’s in my future do you ask? Why another insect of course!
