This is a deceptively simple knit - soothing stocking stitch, with bursts of a moss stitch stripe adding a little excitement. It’s a perfect knit for holidays, knit-nights and long train journeys, and for those times when a spot of comfort-knitting is called for.
Slow Exposure is a long crescent shawl with textured stripes and a pretty picot bindoff.
Yarn
Two skeins of 4ply yarn for the main colour, and a five-skein mini set for the contrast colours.
You can choose your own combination of full skein and mini skein. I've used Harvest and Chasing Shadows for the sample here.
Yarn colours
The miniskein options are:
- Peony - a warm floral pink, fading from bold to barely there.
- Merfade - an undersea wander from turquoise to green.
- The fog is lifting - a glowing green, starting subtle and getting brighter
- Flamingo party - pinks and oranges, a touch of dark speckle, no subtlety at all
- Harvest - soft straw deepening to a rich gold
- Bonfire - a toasty orange and red fade
For the contrast skein, you can choose from:
- Bainín - clean white
- Snowcloud - the softest, palest of silver greys
- Halflight - a mid-toned grey
- Chasing Shadows - a warm charcoal grey
- Crow Friend - a soft navy
