Happy Saturday

Diana came in this morning with a new sample - The Attune Shawl. We used Patagonia and Zauberball Starke 6.

The shawl is reversible. In the top shawl the Brioche is on the right half with the Starke 6 showing. In the picture below the Brioche is on the left with the Patagonia showing.


You can purchase the pattern on Andrea’s website.

This shawl is all about texture, squish and the movement of color. Watching the colors move and change was mesmerizing, and I finished the shawl long before I was ready to because I just could not set it down! I hope this shawl inspires you to grab some of your favorite yarns and mash them together in a shawl that begs to be wrapped around you!

The Patagonia is colour 115 and the Starke 6 is 2248. The pattern calls for 2 balls of each but Diana knit our shawl with less than 1.5 skeins of Patagonia and 1 ball of Starke 6. The size is good. 2 balls of each will make a really big shawl.

Stephen West has a new shawl pattern.

Gather five shades of fingering weight yarn to knit this spiraling garter stitch shawl. Begin at the top center and increase with yarn overs to achieve the expansive shape. The rows are very relaxing and easy to memorize so you can enjoy your beautiful colors. Bind off at any time for a custom size and enjoy the swirling movement of this beginner friendly pattern.

You can purchase the pattern for Garter Abyss on Ravelry.

Yarn 
Fingering weight
 

Yardage 
Color A - 440yds / 402m 
Color B - 440yds / 402m 
Color C - 440yds / 402m 
Color D - 440yds / 402m 
Color E - 440yds / 402m
 

The top-down construction makes this shawl easy to customize in size. If you have slightly different amounts of yarn, such as at least 400yds/ 366m for each of your five colors, you will still have a really big shawl.



We had a very small family gathering tonight to celebrate a few birthdays. Dad turns 80 in a few weeks and Uncle Bob turned 80 a few weeks ago. It was a fun evening. There is hockey and baseball on so I’m signing off to watch. 

Happy Saturday! What a beautiful day.

  1. Love the Attune! But also curious the name of the pattern for the pink knitted t-shirt style sweater she's also modelling:)
