FO: Triada (variations on a color theme)

Posted by Amber on January 28, 2007

Pattern: Triada, Summer 2005 Interweave Knits
Yarn: Fiesta La Boheme (1 strand 100% rayon, 1 strand kid mohair/wool/nylon)
Color: Abalone (pink and purple)
Mods: Cast on 50, not 30, used a size 15 needle, not a 17
Notes: The first few rounds were a bit tricky (knitting/purling to stich below for fisherman’s rib pattern, plus using such absurdly large needles). But once I got the hang of it, it was really fun, and really, really fast. I got the yarn on Friday and started working on it Saturday afternoon (after I seamed and blocked a sweater!) And it’s so shiny! The perfect pick me up for cold rainy winter days.

Bat cave, how I loathe your lack of light.
I’ll try and attack someone at work tomorrow to take a picture in natural light. If there is any natural light tomorrow

I knew I wasn’t going to wear it as a shoulder wrap/poncho, which is part of the reason I cast on 50 stitches instead of 30 - I wanted it to have a larger circumfrance, so I could double it around my neck, like in this photo. So sparkly.

    Wait, wait. This is the Triada you mentioned in Friday’s post? The one you bought yarn for on Friday??? I hate you :-P

    That was FAST. Judy and I were just figuring out how to get needles to you. :) See you tonight?
