Happy Sunday

We had an unplanned Camp Reunion in the store yesterday. It was great to catch up and they were all wearing lovely sweaters.

This is the Glowhair Frost Shawl (pattern purchased on Ravelry). 

Glowhair Frost Shawl is the Hiberknitalong 2024 design. We will begin the knit along on December 26 and knit together into the new year and throughout January. Sign up for the knit along anytime from Novebmer 9 onward by getting this pattern individually or in the Hiberknitting 5 e-book.

This large semi-circular shawl is knitted top-down with a collage of lace stitches and simple textures. Gather three colors of fingering weight yarn in a colorful fade or gradient from light to dark, then add three coordinating colors of lace weight mohair from light to dark. The three mohair accents are held together with the lightest color at the beginning of the shawl in a beautiful dip stitch pattern. The mohair colors are also used on their own with decorative eyelets and stripes in the border. This subtle mohair frost gives a beautiful halo and silky sheen to the fabric. The lace patterns feature delightful details like twisted ribbing, cables, and bold geometric formations. A chevron border frames the shawl for a dramatic final edge. 

You need 3 skeins of fingering weight yarn and 3 balls of laceweight mohair.

I knit a throw with Rasta last week. It took 9 skeins and I used the new colour Woodland. More skeins are coming this week. I will get the pattern written and it will be available with the yarn.

House photos are happening on Friday. My job tomorrow is to start staging - get pretty bedding ready, clear the kitchen table and counters……. I need to make it look like no one lives here😜
