Pikaneule / A quick knit

Vapailla tuli tikuteltua äänikirjojen seurana pikaneule: hyväksi havaittu Shetland Triangle Lanitium ex Machinan  bfl/silkki-sekoituksesta, joka on Villavyyhdin viime vuotisen Suuren suomalaisen neulekerhon erikoisväri.

During the holiday vacation I did a quick knit while listening to some audiobooks. The good old Shetland Triangle from the Finnish indie dyer Lanitium ex Machina's bfl/silk-blend.

Yllä olevassa kuvassa värit toistuvat jotenkuten oikein, tähän vuodenaikaan violetin kuvaaminen on aivan mahdotonta...

The picture above shows the colors quite correctly, the lack of light makes taking pictures of purple absolutely impossible at this time of year.

Pingoitussetti on kyllä ollut hintansa arvoinen hankinta!

I have not regretted spending money on a set of blocking wires!

Yarn: Lanitium Ex Machina 55/45 sw bfl / silk 100g
Needles: 4 mm Knit Pro metall
Ravel it!

Post-shawl hangover pt 2

I finally got around photographing the Shetland Triangle I finished ages ago... The yarn is wonderful 100% silk thread from Colourmart namely
ColourMart Silk 4/56NM Lace Weight. I should have asked them to wound it double as the single strand was really, REALLY thin and I ended up doing I think 18 or something repeats more than the pattern called for :D Anyway, it is beautiful and is serving now as my autumn-scarf as it's not yet cold enough for the woolen ones.

Finished

It is pretty isn't it...
