A hungry Spider made a web Of thread so very fine, Your tiny fingers scarce could feel The little slender line. -Aunt Effie's Rhymes for Little Children
Tumblr media
Recently, I've been working on a shawl inspired by Annabelle Cane. Yesterday, I finally finished and blocked it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This shawl would not be here without @saintbleeding, whose writing and encouragement made me go crazier about Ms. Cane than ever before.
Tumblr media
(ID: Four images of a circular white shawl. In the first image, a white lace shawl is draped on a hydrangea bush. The shawl is circular and has a simple lace pattern of spokes spiraling outwards intersecting with concentric circles, reminiscent of a spiderweb.
In the second image, the same shawl is being worn by the creator, a white freckled person wearing black clothing who is facing the camera. The photo shows them from the chin to the knees, hands clasped at their front. The shawl has been folded at the top edge and draped around their shoulders. The bottom of the shawl is drifting in the breeze and illuminated by afternoon light.
In the third image, the same person is wearing the shawl, with their back to the camera and arms spread. Again, the shawl is drifting in the breeze and catching the light.
In the fourth image, the same person is walking away from the camera, arms spread to showcase the shawl. The camera angle shows more of the background, a fenced in backyard with a cherry tree and blue sky. There is a spider emoji obscuring the person's face. End ID.)

i have previously attempted to make the Birds of a Feather shawl by Andrea Mowry and i just chose the wrong yarn.
so i got new yarn and have been working on it and i am loving it.
it’s just such a calm knit and it’s feels luxurious
i finally got to the lace section and i’m gonna be honest, i fucked up a little bit and read the pattern wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ but i was able to fix it!!!
i am not even close to being done but i already love it!!!

I finally published the project for my dice roll scarf that went viral last month. If you love dice games, you'll enjoy knitting this pattern.
Tumblr media
The color work in this project is determined by an algorithm, a set of rules that determine the final outcome. There isn't an exact set of instructions for this project. Instead, the knitter uses four 10-sided dice or a random number generator to pick the length of the colorwork in each row. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The result is a staggered stripe sequence along the edge of the shawl. There are trillions of unique outcomes, so no two projects turn out exactly alike. The pattern uses about 500 yards of yarn in total, but the amount of each color that you'll need is randomly determined. Before publishing, I wanted to find out the minimum and maximum amount of each color required to make the project and the probability of each outcome.
Tumblr media
The knowledge needed to calculate the yardage was a bit beyond my skill level, but my friend Mary W. Martin helped me gather this info. I used an online probability calculator to find out the probability of each unique stitch count. The results are slightly different depending on whether you use four 10-sided dice (blue) or pick a random number (yellow), but 99% of all possible results fall within a very small range. 
Tumblr media
It was an interesting little tangent, but not hugely important to the actual knitting pattern. I can, however, confidently say there is a >99.9% chance that you'll need a 2nd skein of the main color. If you want to know more about the math, you should check out my project notes on Ravelry. 
The thick and thin striped colorwork is created with a super simple "long stitch" technique. The pattern looks great in fluffy mohair or contrasting colors of basic wool and the instructions include some basic tips for substituting yarns or changing the gauge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finished Size: 18 x 68” (46 x 172 cm) rectangular wrap.
Yarn: Approx. 315 yards (288 m) of MC and approx. 264 yards (241 m) of CC. Yardage may vary, see notes on yardage below and yardage chart in photos.
• Main Color (2 skeins) - JMR Studio Worsted Weight Mohair, 245 yards (225 m) per 4 oz; 78% Mohair, 13% Wool, 9% Nylon.
• Contrast Color (1 skein each, both yarns held together) - JMR Studio Fingering Weight Mohair, 320 yards (293 m) per 100g; 63% Silk, 23% Kid Mohair, 11% Nylon, 3% Polyester Held with Lavender Lune Yarn Co. Suri Alpaca, 328 yards (300 m) per 50g; 74% Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk.
Yardage: The amount of each color used for this pattern fluctuates based on the random numbers used to determine the stitch pattern. MC uses approx. 233 to 315 yards (213 to 288m) and CC uses approx. 182 to 264 yards (166 to 241m). 99% of possible results fall within a much smaller range. The Yardage Chart shows the distribution of all potential yardage outcomes.
Needles: Size 8 (5 mm) straight needles, or size needed to obtain gauge. NOTE: Straight needles work best with long stitches. Circular needles with a thin cord allow the long stitches to tighten and stretch, making them harder to manipulate.
Gauge: 12 sts x 14 rows = 4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) square in pattern.
Other Materials: 10 sided die or random number generator, stitch marker, scale, tapestry needle.
Generating numbers: In my sample, I used four ten-sided dice (D10) to choose a number between 4 and 40 sts. If you don't have dice, you can use an online app like RANDOM.org to generate your numbers. If you follow this link, you'll get a list of 63 integers between 4 and 40. NOTE: Each time you visit the link or refresh the page, the list changes. You can also just choose numbers as you knit.
Pattern is available on my website and on Ravelry.

Finally got around to blocking this shawl! This is my first time blocking anything, and I didn't have a proper foam base to pin on, so I improvised with my sofa and some towels. The pattern is Golden Orchids and it has these lovely beaded flower motifs at the border! I used white pearlescent beads on white mohair-acrylic yarn, so they unfortunately aren't too visible.

Here's a close-up, before and blocked. Looks so much cleaner! If you have any tips on blocking, leave a comment!

Would also really appreciate donations if you want to help support me but can't buy something for whatever reason.
Check the original post to see what's been sold and what hasn't (I will cross out sold items). First come first serve.
https://ko-fi.com/kolyenka
Prepared Fiber--all of this is prepared by me :) the following 4 are cheaper as I can ship them in normal envelopes
Tumblr media
A: 0.14 oz, combed top. Blend of bfl, tencel, tussah silk, corriedale, merino. Very soft and shiny. $8.
B: 0.11 oz, combed top. Blend of tussah silk (black) and mohair locks (green). $8
C: 0.22 oz, combed top. Same blend as A, just a lot more of it and in different combos. Distinct gradient from one end to the other. $10
D: 0.4 oz, rolag (made on blending board). Tussah silk, mohair, and bfl. Very squishy and fine. $13
Tumblr media
E: 0.29 oz. Rolag, wool and cotton blend. Even more stripes of color under the surface. $13
F: 0.51 oz. Rolag, wool blend with some Angelina. Purple underneath. $15
Tumblr media
G: 4.75 ounces. Rolags (many many rolags). Blend of various wools; some fibers are not quite next to skin soft, but overall it's a soft blend. Mix of red, orange, white, purple, and black. $45
Tumblr media
H: 1 ounce. Washed longwool fleece (breed unknown). Dyed by myself with onion skin. $10
I: 1.2 ounces. Southdown flax blend, predrafted from rolags. Could potentially make up to 6 ounces total of this. $18
FLEECE
Tumblr media
J: 6 ounces. Washed jacob lambsfleece. Very soft for a jacob, large bits of vm (was able to get it out with hand cards). $20
K: 5.5 ounces. Hampshire with 2+ years growth, washed fleece. Definitely an odd fleece, not like your usual down breed. Has vm; washed it multiple times but still looks gross--I've found its almost impossible to get totally clean before it's yarn. Recommend combing, spinning, then washing. Nice and soft. $25
L: 7.5 ounces BFL cross. Very soft and with good luster. Some vm, was able to remove with hand cards. $25
M: 4.75 oz. Jacob x Border Leicester. Good luster, warm brown tips. Nicely soft. $20
SPINDLES:
Tumblr media
1: thin spindle (7 inches long). Good for cobweb weight but can achieve thinner and thicker. Birch wood with woodburning. $80
2: thick spindle (7 inches long). Good for laceweight but can achieve thinner and thicker. Wood type unknown (some sort of fruit tree iirc). No woodburning due to lots of wormholes and spalting which provide their own visual interest (they don't cause problems spinning don't worry). $60
3: thick spindle (6.5 in long). Good for laceweight, can spin thicker and thinner. No clue on wood type. Woodburned on most of the surface, the rest has wormholes again. $90
BAGS
Tumblr media
4: handblended handspun handknit drawstring project bag, 20 inch circumference. Cord is handspun flax. It's folded in half in the bigger picture. $90
5: handblended handspun handknit pouch. Don't remember the circumference but you can compare to the other bag. Body is entirely southdown babydoll wool. Handle is handspun icord. $75
Tumblr media

Well this ended up being mostly a stash buster. Pattern is Waxwing Shawl. I used up bits of madelinetosh singles and mohair partials gifted by a friend. Not enough to finish the entire chart but close enough!
