Currently I’m knitting what I like to call a “shawl” as it in the interweave pictures is pictured as a skirt, but called a shawl. We’ll see what I end up using it for in the end.
The project is a marriage between a yarn I’ve been drooling over for some time at a LYS (Tjorven garn). Lenpur Linen by Rowan & the yarns ravelry page. It’s a gorgeus yarn with the soft and silky viscose feel but heavier and stronger, like it has more “weight/body” from the linen. But apparantly Lenpur is the eco variant of viscose with even better properties than the usual one. The thing I find interesting is that I like eco-yarns not because they are better for the enviroment, but often as they feel and act better than the normal stuff.
The pattern of Saoirse is from Interweave knits, spring 09 issue (bonus photos). Pattern by the awesome Nora Gaughan
And I had to get a super long circular needle to do this project, so I went with the (only) option, Harmony needles <3 So pretty, so nice to work with and with the added bonus of colours…
