Vobachs 401-34 – Happy Accident… Again! ;-)

The photo below is of my test knit of the pattern. Notice at the border there are two leaves instead of four, which I realized after knitting it! Nevermind that I initially recharted it correctly to contain four leaves! Apparently, upon copying the chart to another sheet in order to compress it to fit on one page and still be readable, I thought I had made a mistake. I hadn’t, and then proceeded to make one… Arrrgh! Turns out the Adaptations 2 and 3 are identical up to Row 77, the differences can be seen by comparing the charts. The good thing about the mistake is that it requires less yarn with the same needle size.

Vobachs 401-34 – Adaptation 3: Two Leaf Border

Below is Adaptation 3 worked in sport weight linen on US Size 4 (3.5 mm) needles, measuring 62″ by 31′, same shawl as above first photo.

Original Photo From Both Vobachs Kunststricken 401-34 and Lavori Artisitici A Calza 5-29

Note that, in case you already have the Lavori 5-29, it can be worked as a circle by working the stitches between bold lines twice for every repeat instead of every other repeat. However, Lavori 5-29 does not include adaptations for semicircular shawls. For Purchase Info for the Lavori 5-29 Click Here.

Holiday Ornament Knitting – Head Start

When originally posting this I forgot to mention that the ornaments can be knitted on US Size 0 (2.00 mm) needles and Size 10 crochet thread (possibly metallic), instead of the semi-ridiculously small US Size 4-0 (1.25 mm) needles and Size 40 crochet thread as shown above. The doilies can be inserted in a picture frame as a gift, or as ornaments in a window, or on a relatively large Christmas tree. A second group comprised of more than 22 rounds will forthcoming in the following months, some of which are already completed. Meanwhile, for purchase info Click Here.
