Beautiful Stripes

Yarn is on the way to Wannietta and she is going to knit me Passeggiata. I love this shawl. It is knit with a Freia Minikin Palette pack. We have a few colours left in stock and more kits will be coming later this summer. I ordered lots of individual Minikins as well so you can put together your own combination.

This gorgeous oversized scarf takes me to the streets of Venice, where one goes on promenade in the late afternoon and takes in the sunset bathing the beautiful old Palazzos. Lightweight and long enough to wrap multiple times for warmth or wear loosely as an elegant and decorative wrap. You’ll have as much fun wearing this as you will knitting it!

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

I was going to take pictures of the yarn out of the boxes but the box is nicely sealed. These are the Minikin Palette packs that we have right now.

This is the Earthy kit that Tina used for the sample shawl.

If you really need to start the shawl another option is 3 Freia Shawl Balls. This will give you a bit more yardage than a kit. The stripes on a Shawl Ball are longer so you will need to be some cutting and joining new balls to get the look of all the stripes. This just hit me when I got home so I don't have pictures but let's try this.

This will make one bright shawl.

And a much more subdued colour combination.

Julie Ann sent a few pictures of her Breathe and Hope. She is doing kit #2. The colours are amazing - I can't wait to see it finished.

Boscoe loves paper, paper towels, kleenex and toilet paper. He got the toilet paper out of the bathroom at work yesterday and made a mess. But he looks like an angel. Notice the green thing in the bottom left of the picture? That is what is left of Lucy's leash. Boscoe chewed through it. Knock on wood he hasn't chewed on any shoes yet.

Boscoe's hair was in his eyes at work so Josie fixed it. Poor baby. I'm not sure he likes it.
