Wedges

Stephen West has a new pattern. You can purchase the pattern for the Fragmentation Shawl on Ravelry.

Choose seven colors of fingering weight yarn to create this fragmented geometric shawl. This top-down shawl is composed of seven vertical wedges. Knit each wedge individually as you stripe your colors. Each new wedge is attached to the previous section using a simple modular technique, so you only work with one color at a time. You can easily customize the size by knitting more stripes for a larger shawl or simply stop each wedge section early for a smaller shawl. The pattern is written for seven colors, but you can use as many colors as you want for a stashbusting version. The squishy garter stitch is framed with I-cord edges, resulting in a beautiful large shawl size.

You can purchase the pattern individually or as an eBook.

Modular Coloring Shawls contains 10 new Westknits knitting patterns that will be released throughout the year. When you sign up for the e-book, you will receive the striking Fragmentation Shawl pattern. Then, enjoy surprise pattern updates as the shawls are revealed gradually throughout the spring and summer, culminating in the final collection reveal by the end of August. 

Each Modular Coloring Shawl includes an illustration of the shawl shape for you to color each section with colored pencils or markers. Create your own striped color story and think about the shawls as geometric landscapes for you to customize with color. These shawls are designed for single skeins and they are perfect stashbusters to help you spring clean your stash. Most of the patterns feature garter stitch and are great introductions to modular knitting, suitable for adventurous beginners and advanced knitters alike. 

The debut shawl of the collection, Fragmentation Shawl, includes a free step-by-step video tutorial demonstrating all of the techniques required to knit this shawl. The 10 patterns come in a range of different shapes and sizes with notes on how to customize the size too! Enjoy this coloring e-book of shawls and unleash your inner artist as we knit beautiful modular shawls together!

Cascade 220 Superwash Merino is looking good. The colours are all in order. We made it easier for you and I to reach the yarn. The top box is now storage.

I spoke to Lynn this afternoon and she said she was tired last night. She did a lot of work - thank you for your help Lynn.

Just as I was about to hit Publish I received an email from Spincycle. They have more yarn for us. The box should be here next week. There are 2 brand new colours of Dream State coming.

Now a bit of knitting and Price is Right at Night. My Opa loved Price is Right. He watched it every day after he retired - it runs in the family.
