Trinidad

I was inspired by Carrie’s Trinity Shawl (secret project number 3). I’ve been looking for a project to match up with my Millefili Fine and that shawl looked like a great fit.
I knit up a swatch and I loved the look, but the pattern was a bit of a pain to knit. Similar to ribbing, the yarn was going in front and behind the needles with just about every stitch, and then the wrong side rows were purled.
So I played with the stitches and came up with a way that was easier for me to knit.
Here’s where I am (about 6 inches tall)

I love it! I had a couple of false starts getting the increases right, and then finding a good needle size so it would stay airy.
I want to add beads to the edge, attached with a simple edging (maybe a crochet chain?).

  1. It is a great start, Jody. Very pretty fall colors too. I love the idea about the beads on a crochet chain.
    Have a good Sunday~

  2. Good to finally see that pattern knitted up! I have run into the Trinity Stitch pattern severel times, but couldn’t get an idea of what it would look like (yes, I’m swatch impaired). Looks like a perfect match with the yarn and colorway.

  3. Gorgeous fall colors! This will be so pretty all complete – and I definitely think the beads on the edges sound perfect.
