After testknitting for Kimberley I was so happy with my shawl that I endeavoured to get another testknitting done, this time for ravelrys HellsBells. The pattern is called elemental Things and looks just beautiful on her. So I got some fitting yarn from my stash and started right away... first I tried Sekku from Noro in a really beautiful colourway, but jeez.. that yarn is brittle it broke two times in the first three rows... So I decided to use a different yarn. I took out some dark red Lacelux from Lana Grossa, also a beautiful shade of colour but not as colourful as the Sekku. The knitting turned out to be far less demanding then the other had been, due to long stretches of garterstitch and fishnetting. I must admit that I got a little bored with it.. In the end I liked the lace edging though, but I most definitely hated the ruffled fringe, had I not been testknitting I would have omitted that.
This time I didn't even meet the dealine, for which I am very sorry...
Sometime in April I think it was when in one of the forums I frequent a knitalong was started for a Wingspan and here you see the first of my Wingspans, I fell so in love with this pattern that I am already knitting my second, they are done in plain garterstitch, which allows me to read while I knit them.. ;)
