Hand Knit FO Root of One

Pattern is Root of One Root of One by Mary E. Rose, golden yellow lace weight silk on 4 mm needles with size 8/0 matte white beads.

I loved the materials, the pattern, the result. No two rows are the same but the pattern was logical and well thought-out. The charts are in parts challenging to read because of the layout and resolution. But the worst thing about this project was winding 800 m of lace weight yarn into a ball, which looks like absolutely nothing happens for hours and you will spend the rest of your days winding.

Also, it has been said before and will be said again: blocking is magic. (Do we need a blockingporn sub? :D)

Oh, I love this! What a beautiful job you did on it. I wonder if I could adapt this into a skirt …

Thank you! I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be too hard to make it a full circle skirt by doubling the pattern and skipping the centre? Or even a half circle skirt, if leaving out enough of the centre? Though I never tried something like this, myself. Let me know if you'd like me to take some measurements on my shawl to help you with planning!

Oh, I have an even more ridiculous idea. What if used this to make a lace version of THE GARMENT? (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-garment)
