The latest Unique Sheep Mystery Knit Along started yesterday - Rapunzel. Above is the first clue from my test knit. I am also knitting along doing a live hack to make a smaller version of the shawl. The original is big. Instead of a 4-skein shawl set (1260 yards), it uses a 5-skein shawl set (1575 yards).
I picked Black Day Lily on Eos for my test knit. Eos is a silk/wool blend, but the wool dominates and it is one of my favorite lace weight yarns. I've been wanting to knit something with this colorway for a while. I used gold iridescent beads from my stash.
For my Rapunzel Redux I pulled a 4-skein set of Eos from voluminous stash - Sunset Road.
I decided to add extra beads on my second version.
I added beads to all of the double decreases in the wings. I am again using beads from my stash - silver lined gold. They are a little hard to pick out because they blend with the color of this skein - but wait until I get to the dark skein...
