Goblin Kalari - Finished!

 

I finally bound off my Goblin Kalari.  It has been sitting in my project bag for a while now.  I was going to do a knit on edging instead of binding off, but could not get a good color or a good border that seemed to go, so I gave up trying and just bound off.  I had to tink back one row to get enough yarn to bind off with, and I almost made it.

Fortunately I had some yarn in my Kiri leftovers that was a pretty close match.  I did not do a lace bindoff, just a regular bindoff done a bit looser.  I blocked pretty aggressively.  I love how it came out.  I may do more of these.  It is a great way to use up leftovers, and I like the shape.

Goblin Kalari - Choosing a Color for the Edging

 

I had finished the knitting on the body of my Goblin Kalari some time back and had even started working an edging with one of the skeins from the Santa Rosa trio, but I just wasn’t feeling it, so I set it aside to let my subconscious ponder it.  Today I decided to try a couple of other combinations.

I think I like the orange.  It has a bit of a Halloween feel to it, which is totally appropriate.  I’ll give it a shot and see how it looks.

Goblin Kalari - Over 300 Stitches!

I have not forgotten my two Ambah O’Brien projects.  My Goblin Kalari has become my mindless work knitting, and I am down to my last four skeins.  The stitch count is over 300 at this point, so those rows are long, which is actually perfect for when I’m reading technical documents.  I did have to put the project on a longer cable this week.  I’m still contemplating what color to pick for a knit on border.

Goblin Kalari - Six Skeins Done (Almost)

With the main knitting done on my Woollsia shawl I needed another mindless knit to work on during work, so I pulled this project back out and have quickly knit up several more skein remainders.  I’m almost done with skein 6.  I will likely work a knit on border on this shawl as well.  I just need to find a color that will work.

Goblin Kalari - Cast On

I was rummaging through project bags a while back and came across these leftovers from my Perfect Blend shawl and decided that they would make a nice Kalari Shawl.  I actually cast it on back in June - June 25th - but then it was set aside while I was focused on my July Camp Loopy. I picked it back up last week, and had to start it over again because my stitch count had gotten off.  It took me several tries to get it right, but I did, and made some progress.
