  1. Loving how this Mingling Daisies Shawl is coming out! And have seriously fallen in love with this 30% yak 40% merino 30% silk blend from Anzula Lana.

    Just one or two more repeats of the three stripe sequence to cast off with an i-cord finish.

    A very mentally stabilizing and clarifying knit - did a lot of good thinking during this one. Recommend!

  2. Here we go, several bands of overall shawl pattern down, 3 or more to go! Yak is magic yarn - so strong I can't break it with my hands, so soft it feels much like cashmere. And that color over a gray base. Loving it!

  3. Hello #Knitterati ~ FINALLY coming out of a months-long funk involving COVID, RSV, long hospital stays, and ginormous sleep, eg 15 hours a night... Yikes!

    Back at this #MinglingDaisies shawl, #StephenWest #WestKnits.

    So far, easy-ish with 3 pattern bands - mingling daisies, open lattice, broken rib. Will probably add extra band of all 3, for more length in back.

    In Anzula Lana, a dreamy merino-silk-yak blend.

  4. Ooh-la-la Fiber Folks, this yarn is a revelation! Anzula's hand-dyed Lana - merino, silk and yak. Yak!

    It's like butter. And the strength! I cannot break the yarn with my bare hands, even though it's just fingering weight.

    Re color - it looks to be dyed on a distinctly gray base. Don't know about other shades in Lana line.

    WIP is #ChasingDaisies from #StephenWest #WestKnits.
