Entomology




Entomology by Laura Nelkin for Knitty, Summer 2009
Schaefer Yarn Co. Anne - 1 skein, sadly not given a colorway name
Size 8/0 beads
I believe an Addi Turbo US 5 - probably 24 inch, but don't quote me on that at all as I forgot to record the needle size.
June 2-22, 2010

The color is rather difficult to photograph - blues and purples being the most difficult colors for my camera. Think sea colors - beautiful cool blues and greens. I'm very happy with the way the color turned out in the finished piece - not pooling or flashing or doing any other crazy thing. It's just the right amount of variegation to hold up well in a lace pattern.
Speaking of lace patterns - I adore this one. I'm not sure if I see dragonflies or angels in the finished piece, but that's part of the beauty. I love how it pulls the yarn so that the colors appear in waves within the pattern, and I love the geometry of it all.

The beads are the perfect matte turquoise - reminding me somewhat of sea glass.
Yes, it was a happy knit.
