Sharktooth

The other day I was working on Sharktooth and picking up steam.  The end was in sight.


I was on a roll and didn't stop until the shawl was off the needles and blocked. Momentum can be a powerful force.

The center motif.


Twisted stitches against a garter stitch background.  Sharktooth is all about texture.

More twisted stitches along the border.


Finished with a picot bind off.

The yarn is Dirty Water DyeWorks Lillian, colorway Yogi Bear.  This colorway is perfect for the season.


Tightly plied Lillian has great stitch definition and enhances the twisted stitches in this design.  Sharktooth is ready to hit the road and will be traveling to all the fall festivals.
