Icelandic wool for a while and knew that both the outer coat (tog) and the
inner coat (thel) were used by Icelanders to knit lace when spinners separated
the fibers. Now the commercially prepared Icelandic Einband lace weight yarn
from Istex is a combination of tog and thel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

MacKenzie, I told her about seeing designs knit from tog and from thel at the

separate the tog, and spun it on a Kundert spindle. During this process, I
realized I do not have the patience to properly prepare fleece, and I passed
along the lighter brown, soft thel to a more talented spinner. I was persistent,
though, and persevered with the tog, plying it on a Lendrum wheel. The quality of my
2-ply lace weight was not great, but friends suggested I try knitting it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Midway into the second skein, I realized the first
skein was landfill quality and started over. Fortunately, only the one skein
was dreadful, and I had more than enough yarn to finish the shawl. The
tog blocked beautifully and has a nice drape. Had I been more skillful with fiber prep, it would feel silkier since there are odd hairs throughout. Still, it is a wearable and interesting reminder of this Icelandic spinning
adventure, as well as proof that I got tog!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This post will answer some questions that I am often asked about using blocking wires and describe a favorite cast-off.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Blocking Wires</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While not necessary for successful blocking, blocking wires can be very useful. They can be woven in and out of eyelets along the border of a top-down triangular shawl or the sides of rectangular pieces.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of weaving them in and out, wires also can be inserted from the same direction into the slipped stitches at the edges of rectangles or into the holes of picots as shown below.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kczVsYjS_c5fT7qb3dV7Yaq7CrtCKWQso3-PjnIil4mejNPDSZ43OWT89IxiZXqEGKnGpHDKpXTQE940P_9tQa1-cJkKvfmW9dQco-mTNtHTOJuW3SjAyYjCvUwFJ7pawKoEgIsQOvo/s1600/IMG_0018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kczVsYjS_c5fT7qb3dV7Yaq7CrtCKWQso3-PjnIil4mejNPDSZ43OWT89IxiZXqEGKnGpHDKpXTQE940P_9tQa1-cJkKvfmW9dQco-mTNtHTOJuW3SjAyYjCvUwFJ7pawKoEgIsQOvo/s320/IMG_0018.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This sample also has a centered picot cast-off to accent the feathers lace edging.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Centered Picot Cast-off</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">The picot in a picot
cast-off normally is worked over 2 stitches. To make the picot, a cast-off
stitch is returned to the holding needle, and a knit cast-on is worked in it to
add 1 or more stitches. The added stitches are cast-off for the picot, and then
edge stitches are cast off to where next picot will start. So the picot
starts on one stitch and is completed on the next stitch. Often this is not a
problem, but if a picot is desired to accent a single stitch, it can be centered
over it.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Since I choose to teach infrequently, I am starting this blog to share knitting information and will begin with a stitch pattern that currently is my favorite scalloping lace. I used it for the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shilshole-lace-scarf" target="_blank">Shilshole Lace Scarf</a>.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">It always is fun to find a
new stitch pattern book. <i>Adventures in Knitting</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> by Barbara Aytes is not new—it was published in
1968—but after discovering it in a used bookstore a few years ago, I had time
to explore it again this fall. It has many variations of scalloping lace,
and the one I chose to knit was Shell and Wave.</span></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">Shell and Wave repeats
over 6 rows, and because there is no purling, it is reversible.
Elongated stitches are created with yarn-overs on Row 1, and all of those
yarn-overs are dropped on Row 2 when the shells are created by knitting 7 stitches
together.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">After knitting a swatch, I chose some hand-dyed Einband Icelandic light fingering
weight yarn for a large scarf. With this yarn, it was easy to slip 7 stitches
onto the working needle to drop off the Row 1 yarn-overs, and then transfer them<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>back to the holding
needle to knit all 7 stitches together to form the shell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">That was not the case with
the Rowan Kid Silk Haze because I had trouble keeping all the stitches for
the shell on the needle. Instead, I transferred the 7 stitches to a
double-pointed needle (dpn) one size smaller than my project needle and then
knit them together off of the dpn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">I always look for a way to
read the pattern on the needles in case my stitch count changes, and the key for
this pattern was that the 4th stitch in the 7-stitch shell should be directly
above the stitch from the last k7tog.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I love both scarfs, and
knitting them brought back childhood memories of the shell-littered beach along
Seattle's Shilshole Bay. With the addition of a marina, the
beach area now is at Golden Gardens Park. </span></div>

She wrote several knit and crochet books and created many of the stitches in <i>Adventures in Knitting</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">, and I am grateful for the adventure her Shell and Wave started for me.</span></div>
