Cotton is not my favorite fiber to knit, to say the least. Yet I keep forgetting it over and over. It often happens that I walk by the cotton stuffed shelf in my LYS and I am struck by the most beautiful bright color or splendid sheen or whatever. And I buy it. I always think I find a use for it but i never do.
I find it hard to figure out small or medium-sized non-sweater/tunic project suitable for worsted weight cotton yarn. I always thought it would be heavy for something like a shawl but you never know until you try, right? I had this simple and brilliant Dichotomy pattern in my project queue for quite a long time. I am certain it would be niftier to knit it out of fingering-weight natural brown Blue Face Leicester wool (and this project is still in my project queue) but it also seemed as a great opportunity to disprove this dogma, deeply rooted in my head ("thou shalt not knit a shawl out of a worsted weight cotton yarn").
And here it is. Petrol blue mercerized cotton - DROPS Muskat - which I bought because it was SO very petrol blue and SO prettily shiny, and golden-beige noname cotton with some shiny stuff in it (shiny is muy importante).
I cannot even tell how much I love this color combination. Though the previously mentioned dogma has not been completely disproved. Worsted weight cotton surely is heavy for a large shawl.
The second shawl I made didn´t help very much. Dead simple crocheted thing. I thought it would be nice to have something like it but I can´t figure out how to wear it. The drape is... just weird. Not to mention that the dye bleeds - no, not bleeds but BLEEDS. Horribly. Interesting thing is that the shawl is navy blue and the color that bleeds is pure red.
Anyway I have to find some other cotton project because I have bought worsted weight cotton yarn again. In smaller quantity than sweater quantity.
Isn´t it nice?
