I have half-knit quite a bit!

This post is inspired by this comic by Natalie Dee!!

My half knitted knitting things! Things that I will probably never finish! I wish giving someone half of a project was a socially acceptable thing. "Here, I knit you one sock! I wrote the pattern down! You get to finish the other one!" But noooooo that ain't what people want.

Shawl sampler

I just used simple openwork lace in patches with the sunlight shawl as the base. it's really lovely out of this mystery yarn (something lace by handmaiden). I might dye it though because this yarn has a slightly dirty look/grey mixed in with the white. The lace reminds me a bit of Shetland lace. But that really might just be because I am completely obsessed with Scotland right now.

The shawl that can fit through a wedding ring.

I'm reading Elizabeth Zimmerman's "knitting workshop" and she speaks of a wedding shawl knit out of such fine yarn that it can fit, in it's entirety, through a wedding ring. I have to say I am fascinated!

So I started knitting a "sampler" shawl (random lace patterns picked out from my lace stitchionary) out of some super fine handmaiden lace. Party time! 

Now I just need a wedding ring to try it out on...
