New Pattern: Lonely Skein.


 
I bought this lovely skein of Sonoma by Baah! last year because of the bright yellow color, but really did not know what to knit with it for a while. Hence the project name, “Lonely skein”. I do not wear hats or gloves, so cowl it is. In the winter time in SoCal you do have a chance to wear cowls and shawls and I take advantage of it every chance I get :)  I can also see myself wearing this cowl near the ocean during the summer evenings. It can get quit chilly and this light and airy cowl will be perfect for such occasions. I love how this cowl turned out.



Lonely Skein is an elegant cowl that features combination of simple lace and cables. The picot edge adds visual interest.  Light and airy it can be worn wrapped twice for a loose fit or 3 times for a cozier feel. The cowl is knitted flat and Kitchener stitch used to join two edges. This is a perfect project for that lonely skein in your stash.  Enjoy!
The pattern is available on Ravelry and my blog.

New pattern: Curvy Moon


Curvy Moon is a beautiful garter stitch shawlette accentuated with stripes and wavy border. Curvy Moon drapes lovely around the neck and shoulders. The shawl is knitted sideways seamlessly. This is a great beginner project and a nice relaxing project for the experienced knitters. The design used very little yarn (165 yards of each color of 5ply/sportweight) while still giving a shawl of generous size. This is a great project for utilizing the leftover yarn from the stash. Choose your favorite colors and have fun knitting Curvy Moon.

Pattern can be found on Ravelry or my blog.
