I really want to knit with Barefoot - a new colour from LITLG.
I would like to do a one coloured shawl. Probably two skeins because I like a big shawl. Please leave a comment on today's blog post with the name of your favourite one coloured shawl. Leave your Ravelry name as well so that I can contact you. From all the comments received by June 13th I will randomly pick one winner to receive a $25 gift card for the store - to be used in the store or online.
If you have an idea for a shawl that uses two colours I can work with that as well. I would like big chunks of colour - not stripes because I want the colour to show.
Auburn Wave is always a possibility but I have already knit it 4 times so a different pattern would be better.
It's Heritage Days this weekend in Ancaster. The big event is the parade. I was in the store early (8:15) and by 9:30 I needed another tea. I walked down to Tim's and got some pictures pre-parade.
I took a few shots from the end of the driveway of the actual parade. They were all pretty much the same and you can't really see what is happening but it is a big event in Ancaster. It has been for almost 40 years.
We’re thrilled to have Olympic Silver Medalist, Sarah Nurse, and Olympic Gold & Silver Medalist, Laura Fortino, as this year’s Parade Marshals!
I saw the back of their heads as the convertible they were in pulled onto Wilson Street. After the parade they are signing autographs - very cool.
Beth went to Terra and bought dad's flowers. While they were planting them they forgot that the front door of the house was open. All of a sudden Lucy was outside. Beth opened the door to her truck and Lucy hopped right in.
She gave them directions on where to put the flowers.
I think that 6pm might be a little too early for bed so I'm going to knit. Maybe an hour and then bed :)

The shawl that is high on my list is "The Five Way Shawl" by The Gourmet Yarn Shop Israel. And the price is right. My Ravelry name is Flemisa.
ReplyDeleteBranching Out by Tincanknits is my favourite.

What about the Midsummer Rose pattern by Lene Tøsti or Adrift by Veera Välimäki, both from the latest edition of Laine Magazine https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/laine-magazine-issue-5/patterns

Nice to see this list! I'm partial to "Waiting for Rain" by Sylvia McFadden. I haven't started it yet, but it's in my queue. lnrskye on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 suggestions: Be Kind by Veera Välimäki, Mille Feuille by Kelene Kinnersly or Ara by Andrea Mowry.
ReplyDeleteI am Smbe on Ravelry.
Happy Knitting!
Found another one -- the new Laura Taylor one called "Touchstone"
ReplyDeleteReally great to see the suggestions. Summertime Blues or Groovy (yes, I know it’s a really easy knit, but I think it would show off your beautiful yarn). My Ravelry name is Yummygirl.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen vertices unite knit in one colour? I think it is stunning, and the pattern is supposed to be fun to knit.

Maybe a Jet Stream by Heidi Kirrmaier? Looks like a relaxing knit with some interesting details. My username is vldeveau

I like Taina by Eeva Kesäkuu, my Ravelry name is "debbever".
ReplyDeleteAmbah has a new shawl coming out in the end of June, called shiri. It is a two colour shawl, but the second colour is a really small amount.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to make it with soot and stovepipe ��
My name is Bouwmancarolyn
One of my favourite shawl patterns is Draper by Sara Morris (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/draper)
ReplyDeleteI've knit it three times and always enjoyed the process - they have all been gifted to family. Ravelry name: alliecat55. I'm going to check out the other suggestions now!
I like sunwalker by Melanie Berg. It is a really large shawl and I used 3 skeins when I knit it.

I like Gard by Melanie Berg. I think it might be a bit big even for you Julie!

Joji Locatelli has an interesting looking 2 skein shawl called Bark Lines. I haven't knit one yet, but plan on doing so soon. My Ravelry name is kevers265.
ReplyDeleteYou've seen Linda's shawls on the blog. Here is her list
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple of single colour shawls I’ve had my eye on.

Susan sent me an email from Mexico.
ReplyDeleteHere are my suggestions for shawls.
Banksia or Alinda, both by Ambah O’Brien are good sized one. Alinda is done in lace weight but would work in fingering wt. it is a huge shawl!
I have just printed off "Stormy Sky Shawl". It uses a 5.5 mm needle and creates a light fabric which would be great for summer.

My current favourite one colour shawl is "Adrift" by Veera Valimaki. It is a beautiful and big two skein crescent shawl in the latest Laine magazine, issue #5 - long bands of garter stitch, eyelets and moss stitch. The yarn you have in mind is beautiful. (I am AJane on Ravelry.)
ReplyDeleteI think a two colour option that could be interesting is the Fountains of Rome, designed by Sara Huntington Burch, but fair warning, it does have wide stripes. My Ravelry name is RioBioBIo. I'm looking forward to reading about Cleveland
