Aster Nyx




Yesterday I finished two huge projects--one an editing project, one a knitting project. The knitting was a surprise project I undertook a few weeks ago to be sure we had a shawl that could photograph well for the release of my pattern, Aster Nyx. Today I took it off the blocking board, and my daughter photographed it on me. I think she did pretty well. I tried to get a few "artsy" shots too. I wonder if anyone can identify the plants the shawl is hanging on.




Noe the yard stick, included to show how much the shawl grew in blocking. I blocked at a radius of 34", but you can see in the photos that when worn the width gets wider and the depth shorter. So It's 72-74" wide and 30-32 inches deep when worn. Flexible!


I love the center star shape, and someday want to knit this as a circular shawl.
