November Neck is a new pattern from PetitKnit. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
The November Neck is worked from the top down in brioche stitch with increases at the bottom of the yoke. Plackets in double knitting are worked simultaneously along the sides. Buttonholes are worked along one placket, while buttons are sewn along the other one at the end.
Size guide
The November Neck has been designed to be worn with the top section folded down and the top two and bottom two buttons unbuttoned. If you do not have broad shoulders, the smaller size is recommended, while the larger size is designed for broad shoulders. The neck opening is the same for both sizes, while the length and the width at the bottom varies.
Painted Leaves is a new pattern from Lisa K. Ross (pattern purchased on Ravelry)
Every autumn, the world is treated to the incredible palette of the changing leaves. This shawl was inspired by the bursts of color surrounding us during this brief couple of weeks each year. Lacy leaves are paired with unique shaping to create a colorful asymmetric accessory that will last much longer than the falling leaves. Choose your colors based on any season you’d like… autumn is just the beginning.
You can also put together your own combination. You need 7 colours of fingering weight yarn. For these you need 50 grams of a colour.
Yesterday I talked about Lisa’s Wings of Wonder Shawl. That kit has 7 Practically Perfect Halves (the amount you need for Painted Leaves) along with 2 full skeins of Practically Perfect Sock. You could use the halves from that kit and then make something else with the full skeins.
I think the colours in either of these kits would look great in Painted Leaves.I’m glad that I wrote most of this in the store today. I picked us up burgers on the way home and scarfed down my food so I could give out candy. The kids were so cute. I totally forgot it was Halloween when I ordered Viola the other day. The driver had to dodge kids to bring our groceries. I was almost out of candy when it started to rain - perfect timing. Now I’m going to put my feet up!!
