Trinus Shawl - Finished!

 

It has been a little while since I last posted.  I guess I’ve been busy.  Not quite sure on what.  Once I got into the mosaic it became fairly addicting.  The only headache was juggling the three cakes of yarn.  This was a fun knit and I’m happy to say that my mistakes were minimal and usually quickly caught so there wasn’t much tinking going on.  I was a bit worried about the I-cord edging being too tight (I did try to keep it relaxed), but it blocked out nicely.

First I laid it out and smoothed it into shape, then I pinned the top edge, followed by the bottom edge, and lastly the picot points.  I did have to adjust mosaic curl on the top edge as I was pinning out the picots, and also the bottom edge, just to even things out.

Trinus Shawl - Mosaic - One Repeat Done

 

I have not been neglecting this project entirely and lately have made progress on the mosaic section.  It is a bit addictive.  Juggling three cakes of yarn is a little bit of a pain, but not too onerous, as long as one is careful.  I’ve also been careful about the tension on the neck edge, trying to keep it loose, without being too loose.  I am really happy with how the colors are working out.

Trinus Shawl - Stripes Done

 

This shawl has been getting worked on whenever I needed some mindless knitting.  For a while it didn’t seem like I was really making much progress, but then suddenly I was done and ready to start the mosaic section.  Winding up the third skein I got to admire the subtle color variation in it, some greens in with the blues, very deep water like.  Here I’ve done just the first row and back of the mosaic.  Now I have the fun of dealing with three yarn cakes.  I do like the I-cord edging, and understand why it was done, given that I’ll be juggling three skeins for a while.

Trinus Shawl - Cast On

 

While I was stash diving for an alternative set for the Caladenia Shawl, this trio caught my eye.  It was not right for Caladenia, but I’ve been wanting to make the Trinus shawl and have been having a hard time finding a set I thought would work.  I think this set will work perfectly.  It is another trio from the Unique Sheep, called By the Shore.  I need something fairly mindless for work now that I have finished Elinya.  I do love working with this yarn base, Kiri, and with Unique Sheep yarns in general.  They just make me happy.
