Yesterday I went to La Maison Tricotee with the lovely A. We went, not to buy yarn, but to sit and share a pot of tea, chat and knit. She was working on socks. I was working on my
Wingspan. I was just starting the third triangle and I really wasn't feeling it.
The yarn is beautiful, the pattern is lovely, but they just don't work together. I had seen A's wingspan at our stitch & bitch last Sunday and I couldn't get it out of my mind-she was knitting hers with zauberball and it was just so stunning. Sunday night, I spent way too long looking at the wingspan project page on Ravelry, checking out the yarns people used. Invariably, my favourite Wingspans were always the ones that were made with Zauberball. The long colour changes really work with the pattern.
So A and I are sitting there discussing this issue, and I'm not sure who suggested it first, but we ended up finishing our tea and heading over to Mouline.
I came home with this:
Frogged (rip-it rip-it) this:
And started knitting this:
Much better!
*The Zauberball I'm using is Starke 6 and the colour is called Cafe Flair.
