Dad and Beth were on the road early this morning. I was on dog duty. I brought home a big basket of yarn to take pictures and get new kits online. There are different colours combinations for the Attune Shawl.
I finished last night.
I’m on dog duty tomorrow so I’ll get a skein of yarn wound and get back to Night Lights.
This is King Salmon Light by Caitlin Hunter. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
King Salmon Light is a fingering weight version of my King Salmon sweater. Knit from the top down, this sweater features a bold salmon design on the yoke, a relaxed, comfortable, unisex fit and is easily adjustable in the sleeve and body length to create a perfect fit.
This version has a more traditional shape than the original design, the yoke is a standard depth as opposed to the exaggerated yoke depth of the original, worsted weight version. You can find the original King Salmon sweater here!
The sample shown here is a size 4, with 14” of positive ease on a 34” bust for an oversized fit. I recommend choosing a size with 3-14” of positive ease depending on your style preferences.
I used Brooklyn Tweed Loft for mine, which has been discontinued. Any fingering weight wool or wool blend that you can get gauge with and like the fabric of will work beautifully for this design! Please see the testers’ versions in the projects for alternative yarn ideas.
Le Petit Lambswool is the perfect yarn for this sweater.
Butterfly is the most talked about sample in our store. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
This short row shawl looks lovely in either a long transition mutli-colorway or in placed color OR with bits and pieces from your STASH.
Instructions are expressed in a new and unique method which I developed and that most American knitters are familiar with. The instructions let you know when you are on the right side or wrong side and gives extensive stitch counts. For some, it takes away a lot of the confusion sometimes found in other expressions of short rows.
There is a lot of counting and this is very important. It is not a great project to knit while only partially focused in the short row sections. But there is also a lot of plain, garter knitting employed. For every short row section, there are rows in between that are more simple to execute.
A few pattern notes:
Pre-reading of this pattern can cause confusion. If it does not make sense when doing this, try casting on and only reading a bit ahead to see if it starts to make sense as you work.
The shawl is knit with short rows but these are easy short rows. No wrap & turn. No picking up bars on the come back row. You knit to where Marin tells you to turn and you go back in the other direction.
When Fred is tired at night he leaves us and goes upstairs to sleep. This is how we found him last night - in Beth’s shower.
