Prayer Shawl - originally posted 2/17/09

This kind of shows the 2 sides of the prayer shawl. I think it will look fine either side. The bottom area is the knit side (which on the machine is away from me), the part that is on the top is the purl side where the tucks are actually being made.

I kept thinking that I would need to use at least 3 skeins of the yarn to make it long enough, but now am thinking that the 2 full skeins, plus the partial that I had left from A's shrug will be long enough. Don't know that I will get it finished tonight though. Didn't get near the knitting done on it that I wanted to over the weekend with having the granddaughters over & then last night, I was zonked by shortly after 8 pm. Don't know what I did that was so tiring - maybe just the entire weekend!

  1. OK crafter illiterate, what machine are you talking about?

  2. In this case it is The Incredible Sweater machine from Bond - an 8mm machine - knits from about baby weight yarn to knitting worsted depending on the keyplate for the size changes. Very basic & all hand manipulation. I bought it in the early to mid 90's and have made a few things on it, but not too many. I now have it on a table and hope to put it to more use.

    I also have a Brother KH930 with ribber (4.5mm spacing - so fine yarns, although not at fine as a fine gauge machine would take) that I am attempting to learn to use. Not much trouble at all with the 930 and really not much trouble with the ribber, but more in transferring the stitches from the ribber to the machine when it is time to continue the piece.
