Doesn’t that sound like a knitting book title? Except I think I’m almost completely over books that have ‘simple’ in the title. Give me challenges! I want knitting to exercise my brain!
Except right now, sometimes I just need a little simplicity. The following project is about as simple as it gets, but with such a yarn as I have, you don’t need anything more.
This is the start of a simple triangular shawl/scarf thing in Handmaiden Silk Spun. I believe the colourway is ‘Paris’, but the label didn’t give me any hints, that’s just me guessing. I’m using the ‘pattern‘ that came on the label.
It’s really just a shallow triangle in garter stitch, but the colours are lovely, the fabric is soft and squishy, and it’s just really simple to knit. It’s the first thing I’ve done on straight needles in a long time, and they feel a bit odd. I need to switch to a circ soon anyway, each row gets longer and longer.
I love it because I can pick it up and even knit while I’m talking to mum on the phone. Although that does give me a wicked crick in the neck.
