Triangulation
Since writing about the Handsome Triangle shawl last week, I’ve been inspired to actually pull it out and work on it. Progress is being made, although it may be difficult to see in these photos.

                                        A detail of the lace pattern.
                                Another detail–showing how the lace flows out of the increases along the side.
I’m really enjoying working on this shawl. It’s one of those patterns that looks a lot more complex than it really is. It’s actually just four pattern rows, and they’re pretty easy to memorize, so although the charts look a bit daunting, the knitting itself is simple. Minimal effort with maximum payoff.
                                “Speaking of minimal effort, can’t you take me out for another walk? Maybe if I look really, really sad?”
                                     “No? Well, then I’m outta here, human. Triangulate that.”
