Fa-La-La Fade

This is the Fa-La-La Fade from Hedgehog Fibres. The pattern is a free download. 

Generous and cozy shawl featuring all 24 colours from Hedgehog Fibres 2024 Advent Calendar. Painterly design that lets you get creative with your yarns. Dream up a stunning marled gradient and knit your own version this season! 

You can achieve similar effect with 5 full skeins of Hedgehog Fibres Sock Yarn in a fade arrangement

You are holding two strands of fingering weight yarn together for the shawl. You will start with 2 strands of the same colour - AA. Then you will cut one strand of A and add a strand of B. Then 2 strands of B. You can change colours as often as you want.

We didn’t bring in the Hedgehog Advent kit but you can put your own fade together with mini skeins. Or use a few Theme Packs from Emma’s. I think that many of you have lots of fingering weight leftovers in your stash as well that would work great for this shawl. If you don’t want as many colour changes you can use 5 - 100 gram skeins of fingering weight yarn.

The shawl pattern is beautiful. 

I worked on my Traveler Cowl yesterday. It is almost finished. I love the colours and can’t wait to wear it.

I didn’t make much progress on my Plumped Up Cowl. I’ll work on it tonight. 

Now it’s time for a nap. UPS is no longer pickup up our parcels so I need to drive them to the UPS store. I made a few trips from the truck and got wet this afternoon. I think a rest under the covers will warm me up.
