Cross Country Skiing
This chevron and garter shawl is worked from narrow beginning to wide lacey end, to form a triangle. I admit, as the rows get longer … and longer! it really is a little like skiing uphill, but the color changes provide a welcome change of scenery, so it’s easy to keep your momentum going.
And then you’re there, ready to start the lace, where you slalom gently back and forth across one valley, then the next, then the next …
… until all that’s left is a stretchy picot bindoff. Whew, that was fun! Let’s do it again!
