The Winter Violet - Making Progress

I picked this project back up this past Thursday after finishing up Omena on Wednesday, and then worked on it some more yesterday after finishing up my Opinionated Cardinal Shawl.  I really love the colors of this one.  In person they are just so yummy, and the yarn is soft and squishy, a real joy to knit with.  It is hard to see the lace pattern in the photo, which is a very simple zig-zag, except in the way that it creates wiggles in the color stripes.

Pattern:  Miso by Ambah O’Brien

Yarn:  Sundara Yarn Italian Fingering Merino Cashmere in Winter Violet

Needle:  US 5 (3.75 mm)

The Winter Violet - Cast On

I was looking for yarn for a different Ambah O’Brien shawl, when this yarn called out to me.  I really like the colors.  It seems to me to be a wonderful mix of berries, chocolate and cream.  Given the nature of the colorway I decided a simple pattern was needed and settled on Miso, by Ambah O’Brien.  Simple lace, simple increases, designed to use up all of your yarn.  I have two skeins.  I thought about just working one of my simple boomerang shawls, but the colors didn’t look right in just plain garter stitch.  It seems the lace, which causes the lines of color to wiggle, just makes it look better.
