Waited and waited

Dream State is here. Somedays UPS delivers before noon. Today we waited. And waited. They finally arrived late this afternoon.

When we received our last order I put aside colours of Dream State for myself. I've decided to add them to colours from this shipment to make a kit of Andrea's colours. We only have one in stock and you can purchase it on the website.

Here are a few combinations that I put together. Both combinations have 5 of the 6 colours that Andrea used in her shawl. The last colour in each picture is a substitute.

Shades of Earth
Salty Dog
Nostalgia
Deep Bump
Rusted Rainbow
Neveruary

Diana finished Powder and Dust (pattern purchased on Ravelry) with 3 skeins of Autumn and Indigo singles.

Lace like little cat paw prints on dust and a lovely neutral, fading color palette make this shawl perfect for every knitter. Easy triangle shape and squishy garter stitch are relaxing to knit, but the lace and the fade add more interest to your shawl. 

Choose your favorite 3-color fade and cast on!

The shawl is beautiful. Diana knit all three skeins to the end to make it bigger.

Joanne visited today and brought in her Slow Curves. She was lucky to leave with it. I WANT!!

She used Adelaide from Primrose. Did I mention that I want it?? Joanne said that she enjoyed knitting the shawl and it is great to wear.

Slow Curves is a crescent shawl design that alternates wedges of solid colors with wedges of ‘faded’ or mixed yarns. With the use of short rows, these sections create curves that move like a pendulum. On one side of the shawl you will see 4 definite solid sections and on the other side you will see them all blended together.  

The result is this beautiful, big, optically intriguing shawl.

Yarn is on the way from Life in the Long Grass. It left Ireland today so we might see it in a few weeks.

After work I'm heading into Toronto for One of a Kind. I'm afraid that it is going to be a slow drive - the Raptors are in town tonight.

I have the website updated for the yarn that we received today. Now I should get it on the shelf.
