A Really Good Yarn: Pretty Flowers

I'm looking out the window at snow and started thinking about sunny weather and pretty flowers in the garden.

This is the Geology Shawl knit with one Blossom from Frabjous Fibers.

Geology is the fourth shawl in my Elements shawl collection. Layers of knitted strata in different stitch patterns, this shawl will keep you interested the whole way through. The bottom-most pattern photo is the schematic with measurements.

Like all other patterns in the collection, this pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and the pattern can be purchased individually or as part of the four-shawl collection.

Here are a few more patterns from Frabjous Fibers that are knit with Blossoms.

Inspired by our “Infinite Stripes” pattern, we wondered what would two color-morphing cakes of “Blossoms” do if worked together from opposing ends. So, we took two cakes of the same colorway and knit stripes--two rows from one end of one cake, and two rows from the opposite end/color of the other cake. The result was lovely! With a dramatically morphing cake--such as shown in “Zinnia”--even the center-most colors (which are very close to the same) are discernible. With a gradient cake--such as shown in “Globe Thistle” the shifts are very subtle and the center-most colors met and merged in the middle.

The pattern has the option for two sizes--a 10”/25cm wide version that will wrap three times around the neck, and a 12”/30cm wide version that wraps twice.

Started from a provisional cast-on and finished with a three-needle bind off, watch the colors interact as you go.

The pattern is free for Infinite Blossoms.

Use one cake of color-changing “Blossom” fingering weight yarn to knit this shawl with alternating garter stitch and eyelet sections. Long and slinky, it can be wrapped and worn many ways.

The pattern for Meshmerism is free.

These center-pull, cakes of joy are hand-dyed in floral-inspired gradients for one continuous color-changing knit! Our Blossoms are 80% superwash merino/20% nylon; great for socks, shawls, accessories, and lightweight garments.
