New pattern


Last shawl of my design concept. Now there's one for every skill level. This lovely yarn is one of my favourites, Grignasco 2/28 nm MerinoSilk. That's really a quality yarn and the colour is just fantastic something in between plum and purple.

Three weeks lace


This is the second shawl of my design concept. It has been hibernating some time while knitting the "Four weeks lace shawl". It is based on the patterns I designed myself for my knitting class this winter, but it also has the traditional Shetland frame. Do you think the choice of colour is peculiar? I knitted a bespoke shawl to match my winter jacket in this colour combination. I don't think I would have come up with such a combination myself , but actually it is very pretty. Happy, happy orange! 45g of 2/28nm Zegna Baruffa Cashwool bought from Colourmart. This 100% merino is very soft, it is a bit thinner than I expected but it is of course also about density, not just length per kg :-). Tonight it shall be blocked.

Lace knitting, my own design

Another ongoing project is my own composition of rosebuds et al. It is an extension of the design I made for my lace knitting course. I prefer that at the moment, designing my own patterns while knitting. Maybe it'll appear in my future knitting book?
The yarn is another cone of Zegna Baruffa Cashwool 2/28nm in colour "Combat Green"which is bought from Colourmart.
