One shawl two different ways.

For my sister ♡

Pattern: Autumn Waltz Shawl by Yuliya Tkacheva.

For my mom ♡

A heathered white running with every color, makes the shading so beautifully earthy, muddy and faded, it also reminds me of the monarch butterflies which fill the trees in my parents yard every autumn.

Worked the Autumn Waltz pattern as written, omitting the texture ridges, so I didn’t have to keep track of rows and could just kept going until I was almost completely out of yarn. Instead of the ruffle, I bound off and finished the edge with a subtle lace scallop in a matching blue. (26” spine x 58” span lightly blocked)

I really adore this pattern ..rarely do I ever make 2 of anything!

New Year Knits

Not too many straight out the gate, but I’m off to a good start!

Misti Luft, I love the unfussy repeats & sturdy details, combined with the Misti Alpaca Suri Silk, I was more than slightly worried using a variegated, but happily it came out rather beautiful. It makes me so blissfully jolly all slippery, delicate and fuzzy.

Pattern: Luft by Larissa Brown.

so ..what are you making?

Pink Grapefruit, a completely adorable fruit slice bib, so quick to make, I love its simple charms!

Made using the Orangelo Bib pattern by Norah Gaughan (FREE from Berroco yarns, here’s the Ravelry link too) it’s also available in the book Comfort Knitting & Crochet: Babies & Toddlers, I ended up buying the whole book, because it was filled with so many beautiful patterns.
