Secret Garden Shawl

It must be at least a year ago that I started designing this shawl. I had some yarn from Yarntopia called Tencel, in this soft colourway and had a picture of the sort of shawl I wanted to knit. The amount of variegation in the colour meant I had to be careful what lace patterns I chose.

I worked to the point shown in the photo on the right then put it away for the winter last year. This summer I finished and I'm very pleased with the project!

I've since knitted 2 more samples as I've been writing and checking the pattern. Pics another day:)

Thanks to the beautiful model:)

Flowery Hearts Shawlette

I came across the pattern for this wonderful and different hand knitted shawl on Ravelry. It's called "The Flowery Hearts Shawlette" designed by Tiziana Sammuri . I love how the design has elements from Herbert Niebling designs and Estonian motifs. The dark outline of the hearts is achieved with Nupps. The yarn is an absolute pleasere to knit with. Unfortunately the yarn dyer is taking a break from dyeing. I bought her yarn, Titania a merino/silk laceweight from Chili Gredelin.

Another project I love
