New Colours

Ambah O'Brien released a new shawl pattern this week. Meet Melaleuca (purchased on Ravelry).
Combine classic stripes with lace for a relaxed shawl to enjoy year-round. Asymmetrical triangular shaping is easy to wear and so satisfying to knit. Choose boldly contrasting yarns or knit your Melaleuca up with a more subtle variegated yarn and solid colour combination as I did with mine. I loved knitting this as I moved to my new coastal home. The play of colours in this shawl echoes the dappling light in the lovely Melaleuca trees prevalent along the coast.


You need two colours of fingering weight yarn to make the shawl. Two skeins of one colour and one skein of the other.

Good news. It looks like our Hedgehog order has made it through customs and we should see it early in the week. All colours are coming in Skinny Singles and Sock. Some are also coming in Kidsilk Lace and Alpaca Boucle
 Orion - Lace and Boucle
 Danube - Lace and Boucle
 Damsel - Lace and Boucle
 Comeback - Lace and Boucle
Potion
Bijou
Insomnia - Lace

Wannietta and Sarah both knit Carlina. The sweater is beautiful and the pattern is free on Ravelry right now.


I forgot to share a picture yesterday. Lynn and I were practicing our physical distancing.

What pretty new yarns! And, I just love that intarsia knit pattern. Both color combinations are lovely.
