As I have written in an earlier post, one of my favourite knitting designers is Kate Davies<\/a>. In her book\u00a0The book of Haps<\/a><\/em> she has a pattern of a beautiful square Shetland hap, called Moder Dy<\/a>. When I saw it, I immediately felt that it needed me. After months of knitting and spinning, it is finally finished!<\/p>\n

A hap stretcher to match<\/h2>\n

Knitting a big shawl like a Shetland hap and making it justice requires proper blocking. And the Shetland way fo doing that is with a hap stretcher. These are very hard to come by and difficult to ship since they are quite large. As it turned out, the hap stretcher needed me too. Fortunately, Kate Davies has an excellent\u00a0hap stretcher tutorial<\/a> on her blog.<\/p>\n

So, this fall I put on my best carpenter’s suit and started drilling.<\/p>\n

Lots of holes.<\/em><\/p>\n

176 holes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eventually I was done drilling, did a little sanding and varnishing and became the proud mother of a brand new hap stretcher.<\/p>\n

Shetland all the way<\/h2>\n

Since the Moder Dy is a typical Shetland hap, I wanted to use Shetland wool<\/a> for the yarn. After getting tired of spinning up my earlier Shetland fleeces as 2-ply fingering weight yarn, I had spun a few skeins as 3-ply sport weight yarn. I had white, Shaela (light gray), Yuglet and Eskit (dark grays), all from the treasure room for hand spinners at Jamieson & Smith Shetland woolbrokers<\/a>. I have combed the fiber and spun with short draw to define the lace pattern. I planned this quality for the lace edge and shell border.<\/p>\n

For the garter middle I used a Mooskit<\/a> (light fawn) fleece that I carded and spun with long draw to make it soft and warm. One of the wonderful benefits of handspinning is that I can customize the yarn for my knitting needs.<\/p>\n

Using what I have<\/h2>\n

I spun some more 3-ply and started knitting the lace edge in light gray. When I had finished half of the lace edging, I realized that I didn’t have enough light gray yarn. I also didn’t have any more light gray fluff. So I simply changed to a dark gray Shetland yarn. I mean, I can’t be the first one to have run out of fluff \u00a0and I’m sure there are other creative solutions for this problem that have resulted in stunning designs. I read once that having limitations actually forces you to be more creative since you need to find a solution within certain boundaries.<\/p>\n

Spinning as I run out of yarn<\/h2>\n

This Shetland hap is really huge and It ‘s amazing how much yarn is required. I have spun up more as I have run out of yarn. Since the rows of the shell border are about 500 stitches long in the beginning, one 50 g skein may last only for about 5 rows.\u00a0Every time I have thought I didn’t need any more yarn, I have realized I was wrong. Way wrong.<\/p>\n

Big and heavy knitting<\/h2>\n

Knitting this hap has been an adventure and it’s wonderful to be in the best seat to see the development. Naturally, the project has grown bigger and bigger and when I knit the last part (the garter middle) I was totally covered under a heavy hap monster.<\/p>\n

Total weight: 1055 g<\/p>\n

Total meterage: 1909 m<\/p>\n

The pattern called for a sport weight yarn, but the my yarn is for the most part a bit thicker than that. Which also meant that the hap stretcher was a bit too small \u2013 had it been bigger I would have been able to stretch the fabric and define the pattern even more in the blocking.<\/p>\n

As always, I have learned a lot from this project. All in all, I’m hap happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
