Lir shawl that Freeform Katia made. I loved the way it looked in her photograph. I have been looking for suitable yarn and not really finding much that I can afford. There are some insanely expensive yarns out there . Funny thing is that no one seems to carry much in sport weight. There is a lot of sock yarn and a lot of lace weight. I seem to be stuck on this one.
I really want to do it in merino so it will be soft and feel good next to the skin. I also want an interesting yarn because the feel and color of the yarn are part of the motivation for knitting. I find that color and texture are so important for me to be able truly be soothed by knitting after the harsh, hard and colorless nature of my day job. And now that I think about the search for the right yarn is part of the pleasure of knitting. The yarns that are being made today are works of art in them selves. The search is part of the pleasure. .
