Product Description
The lace stitch was found in the Harmony Guides Lace and Eyelets edition. The name is based on the Dr. Who episode in which he meets Vincent Van Gogh. It seemed apropos for this ‘Starry Night’ colorway.
This shawl came about from a love of the Dragonfly Fibers yarn Pixie, the desire to make something budget conscience (only ONE hank of yarn is needed) and the necessity for an item to make with variegated yarn so that the colors and the pattern will work together. With the large needle size this shawl is done in a flash!
Details:Vincent and the Doctor is a rectangular shaped shawl knit biased using short rows. No previous experience knitting short rows is necessary. Almost all stitches are worked ‘twisted’ as in knit through the back loop. This along with the lace pattern and colors give the piece a beautiful fluid ‘movement’.The lace pattern can be challenging at first. If you have any problems or questions please don’t hesitate to contact me!
