Liquid Geography
The fabric of Liquid Geography is a continuous cascade of lace and cables from beginning to end. This cabled lace creates the kind of sinuous texture I most love to design. New Zealand is a geologically active country - the land is literally moving beneath our feet, and that movement has become part of our lives. My inspiration for this shawl was to create a textured fabric that looks like the very landscape itself has become an oozing, liquid representation of solid land forms.
Liquid Geography.
Yarn:
Zealana Kiwi Lace is a heavy laceweight yarn at 198 metres per 40 grams (495 metres per 100 grams), but you can successfully substitute any laceweight yarn up to about 800 metres per 100 grams. I recommend swatching some lace and cables to be sure you’re getting a fabric you like with the needle size you have chosen.
Meterage: My project used 862 metres of yarn (943 yards), but that does not include the 10% extra that is commonly recommended when substituting yarns and accounting for gauge differences. Therefore I recommend you begin with 940 metres (1030 yards) of yarn, although many of you will likely complete the project with 900 metres (but I cannot guarantee this)
Techniques: lace is worked on both RS and WS rows; decreases include - k2tog, ssk, ssp, sk2p, s2kp2, k3tog. Cables include, 2/1 RC & LC, 2/2 RC & LC, 2/3 RC & LC,
You must be able to read a chart to complete this pattern.
Errata: There is a typo on page 2 in the key. For the ssk symbol it should say: ssk on RS, ssp on WS.
(When you purchase this pattern you will see two files. The stacked chart pdf is for a visual reference only, and is not absolutely required - it is so you can see how the motifs merge from chart to chart)
