I Started Another VEVO Yesterday and Fnished it Today

 The yellow VEVO blocked out beautifully. The paper lets the laciness show - so light and airy.

Pinning out the points really highlights the lace. 

It tucks very nicely around the neck. It’s so light, yet as warm as a scarf would be. Then can be easily shoved into a pocket.

I started  another one yesterday - this time using red Lang Merino 400 lace yarn. Again, I plied two strands together to make fingering weight yarn.

This time, I knit the larger size using a 4mm needle. I didn’t quite have enough yarn to finish the second iteration of the second chart. I kinda guessed when I should start the stretchy bind off, playing ‘yarn chicken’ for the last few metres of yarn. 

This is all that remained after I finished the bindoff. Eek! I definitely would not have been able to knit another round.

‘Quick like a bunny’ (as my mom used to day) I soaked, rolled it in a towel, then blocked it - pinning out the points. It’s probably already dry now but definitely will be ready to release from the pins and wires tomorrow.

These are so quick and easy to knit.  I used  stitch markers on every repeat on the brown, alpaca one I knit last week. On the last two, I could read the lace well enough not to need all the stitch markers. The purl stitches at the beginning of every round on the chart made it easy to keep alignment of the lace pattern.
