I’m Knitting As Fast As I Can

Ostrich feathers have been used for decades to make feather dusters. In this design, I’ve paired an ostrich plume stitch pattern with a lovely mohair/silk yarn to create a light-as-a-feather triangular scarf.

Suggested Yarn: Shibui Silk Cloud, a mohair/silk lace-weight yarn.
Needle: U.S. #7 (4.5 mm)
Finished Size: 50 inches across the wingspan and 22 inches down the center back. The finished size is easily adjusted by working more or fewer repeats of the stitch pattern.

The instructions are presented in both chart and written (row-by-row) form.

This project is appropriate for beginning lace knitters, but I would recommend substituting a non-mohair yarn.

Since last Friday, I . . .

. . .  drank a lot of my new favorite tea.

Look at those lovely, bright green leaves. I wish you could smell them. Yum.

. . . started Anne’s amazing Northern Lights Shawl in an unusual-for-me Noro colorway.

. . . received my NaKniSweMoDo patch. Now I just have to knit the last three sweaters.

. . . finally turned my air conditioner on. 82 degrees at 6:oo p.m. is just a bit more than I can handle. But this is the first year I can remember not needing the AC until July 1st!

. . . finished a red-on-red Kusha Kusha scarf for a friend.

Have a great Fourth of July holiday!

A tribute to the quickly vanishing days of cursive writing.

The lace pattern used in the pointed ends of the Ink Spot Scarf resembles the nib of a fountain pen and the strong lines in the main section are representative of ruled notepaper.

Materials
Yarn: Habu A-1, 2/17 Tsumugi silk, 100% silk, 1 cone [450 yds; 48g].
Needle: U.S. size #5 (3.75mm), circular or straight, or any size that gives you the suggested gauge of 20 sts/24 rows = 4 inches (in stockinette stitch after blocking).

The scarf is knit in two identical pieces and joined at the center. Worked at the suggested gauge and in the suggested yarn, the finished scarf measures approx. 68 inches long (measured from point to point) and approx. 12 inches wide after blocking.

The lace pattern incorporates a stitch called a nupp. Nupps resemble flat bobbles and are worked by increasing into a stitch on the right-side and then purling 5 sts together on the wrong-side. Work the increases loosely and it will be easier to purl the 5 sts together.

The suggested yarn is a lightweight, 100% silk yarn with a tweedy texture. If you substitute yarns, I recommend a yarn with silk or linen content.
