My good friend Mel, was wowed by my Modern Quilt WrapĀ (Click that link for all the details and links to where you can find the pattern)
This one….

So much so she wanted to make one just like it with Kidsilk Haze. Mel has learnt to knit since joining our knitting group and her skills are coming on in leaps and bounds – not to mention that she learnt to crochet in a morning and is now a much better crocheter than me! After sorting Mel out with the right colours of KSH from my stash and giving a Modern Quilt Wrap lesson one afternoon, Mel started. Unfortunately, she really didn’t get onĀ withĀ knitting Kidsilk Haze! ( I blame the bamboo needles she was using – KSH needs pointy metal…)
Mel was so disappointed with herself but so determined to have her own ModernĀ QuiltĀ Wrap, she hit the yarn shops and searched out an alternative yarn that she liked. (Don’t worry – the abandoned Kidsilk Haze was returned safely to my stash š Ā )
Mel chose some beautiful shades of the new Rowan Lace…..
…so how did it turn out?
This was at this morning’s knitting group…

Isn’t that fabulous?
It’s incredibly soft and light as a feather.
Here’s one of Mel modelling…

Beautiful. I think I have started something though – there are now plan for a blanket!
I feel quite proud to have helped inspire this lovely, unique version of the MQW. Well done Mel!
What a great idea to change the yarn. I think KSH is not a yarn for beginners. I made a scarf in the stuff only a few months after starting knitting. It took me forever to finish it and it was worth it but it did nearly destroy me!
I cannot thank you enough for posting this! A member of my knitting group had made this and I loved it. She told me it was from Kniting Daily, but without a name for the design, I couldn’t find it. I can put it on my queue of things to make. Looks like a great stash buster!
I also agree with Stitched Together that KSH definitely isn’t a beginner’s yarn – it is a single use yarn, so if you make a msitake you can’t rip it…
How fab! Well done that woman for subbing and enjoying š
