My friend Sandra, fellow New Yorker and someone knitting along with us, asked me if we were doing some leaves next. No, just chain-link fence... This got me to thinking about New York and the motifs I chose to incorporate into this design. There are plenty of trees in New York City, and they are all lovely colors right now, yet I selected what you see above. While I continue to ponder the significance of my choices and my complex relationship with New York City, you all can continue knitting...
I repeat the "row repeat" twice on Chart D before moving on. The Chart D row repeat is the place I suggest you enlarge your shawl, if you like. Go back and check my yarn usage and finished size before you decide on adding a repeat.
The rows are getting longer, so this could possibly keep you busy for a chunk of the next week. I'll be back with a huge post before Thanksgiving. Until then, knit on.
Chain link fences. Ha ha ha! They look very nice, though :)
ReplyDeleteAAAAAH! Slow down! Now I have a new project to start and catch up on!
ReplyDeleteI love the vest-pocket parks in NYC--right where you least expect them. You're right about there being lots of leaves in NYC.
Now that I think about it, chain link fences are the jewelry of NYC. And perhaps I should not have had wine with my dinner. Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteLovely, although I see diamonds. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but I can't seem to find the finished size anywhere....I am using noro kuryeon sock yarn so have a bit over 800 yards...
ReplyDeleteThanks
Linda,
ReplyDeleteYou left me a "no-reply" comment so I have no way of reaching you except here. Look back to pattern page two, from two posts ago and you will see gauge and dimensions...
