"Boing!"
Peacock iridescence in veridical shadows,
Violet blooms spread to noonday sun.
The world's beauty is a swirl of color,
But in the flower's center is bright stillness.
Deng Ming~Dao
Whereas Anne's Boing is a wild child in her bright and happy colors, mine is a bit more fragile and subdued....a quiet but beautiful sister.
This is another beautiful lace stitch pattern that creates a little extra something to wear around your neck when it is not really that cold, but cool enough to warrant a bit of extra warmth...or to dress up an outfit. I so enjoy knitting these little scarves, as they are easy to knit and finish in a short period of time. Perfect for a gift as well.
Pattern: "Boing!"
Yarn: 300-400 yards (depending on desired length)
Woolen Rabbit Whisper Lace Yarn ~ Rhubarb
Needles: US 4
Another fun knit! (Available starting Friday)
It's been awhile since I've been by. Just finished catching up on your most recent posts. Your knitting is so amazing, love that lacey look. Stunning!

Nicely knit! I'm enjoying the knit of a small lace scarf for the same reason. And look at your yard, no White stuff!

how lovely.
"the world's beauty is a swirl of color.." what a grand phrase... and how true.
The perfect words for your lovely little Boing.
