FO: Down Among the Dunes

Jul 9th, 2010 | By wool gatherer | Category: 5 FO Friday, Finished Objects, Shawl

Quite some time ago, I made an over-sized Morning Surf scarf from multiple shades of a Colourmart cashmere scrap set of laceweight in blues and greens – A Tumult of Waves.

It was rapidly rehomed and I always promised myself a replacement. Down Among the Dunes takes its inspiration from the shore, rather than from the sea, and is made from the Cashmere/Silk/Merino blend yarn. Like its earlier counterpart, the yarn is held doubled and the shades changed one at a time.

I knocked this scarf up last year as a test for suitability for beginning lace knitters taking part in the All Shawl Together KAL. It made a useful stash buster

Very repetitive and mindless drop stitch pattern but worth the perseverance for a very wearable accessory. It offers so much warmth for so little weight
