Friday FO – 1st of 2021

Today I finished this capelet, designed by Barbara Benson.

It was a breeze to knit up. I enjoyed working a combination of mosaic and lace stitches. My colors are deep green and bold rust. I’m glad that I was finally able to use the Knit Picks Gloss yarn that I purchased nearly ten years ago. It had been in a shrug, which didn’t look good on me and felt scratchy on my neck. Since this capelet stands away from the neck, scratchiness isn’t a problem.

Sorry about the shadow on the photograph above.

Now that I have it on, I have to admit it is not the most useful article of clothing that I ever knit. But it’s fine for sedentary activities when reaching your arms up is not required. And it’s not as warm as a shawl. (Yeah, the back of my neck is exposed.)

I can’t help but like it, because it’s pretty and graceful.

This pattern is available on Ravelry. I rate it a five for quality of design and clarity of instructions.

P.S. I couldn’t leave this post without including a picture of me in my new Isochronal Capelet!

The color combination turned out just fine.

  1. It’s a fun pattern because you start seeing rainbows, then cake slices then orange slices. Might it be good for reading in bed when you need your shoulders warm but not really moving your arms? I Thought about a bolero jacket worn the opposite way round but something like this may work too,
