Stephen West has a new shawl pattern. Meet the Eyelet Journey Shawl (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Select a gradient of four colors of DK weight yarn to knit this adventurous shawl. The top-down constructions begins with stripes, eyelets, and short rows to for a smooth semi-circle shape with a generous wingspan length. Syncopated brioche stitch is followed by more short rows and a final wavy border. Choose a soft merino wool like Walk Collection Merino DK or West Wool Tandem to knit this beautiful shawl filled with fun details and entertaining stitches.

You can double strand a fingering weight yarn to get the proper tension. This will give you more colour options. Looking at yardage you will need one skein each of 4 colours. The shawl would also look amazing knit in Rios.

Alex came in to help me today and brought in her latest project. A friend of hers is having a baby and she knit the most amazing gift. The pattern is the Bunny Odile and you can purchase it on Ravelry. Alex used 1/3 of a skein of Practically Perfect Sock for the rabbit and one Practically Perfect Small for the sweater.

Here is a link to more patterns from the designer Cinthia Vallet. Alex is now making a bear from the same designer.

I have been working away on my Temperature Blanket but I’m losing a bit of steam. The crappy weather has slowed me down. I’m going back to greens - I want warmer weather so I can knit with purple.
