Rombik for me :-)

Rombik shawl is my second design in the series of #shawlsforfriends Love Rombik that I made for myself. Green feels so Spring. Also, as you can see, I am a plant addict. These are just two of my numerous plants. #Diana_plants
Love the combination of this two Colourmart cahmere/silk lacewieght yarns. The shawl came out warm and weightless.
I am extending the 50% sale on this pattern until the end of March 5th (11pm PST).

New shawl design: Rombik.



This year I would like to design and knit several shawls for some friends who have been kind to me over the years.  Rombik shawl is my second design in the series "Shawls for Friends" with more to come. I designed and knitted this shawl for my friend Helen , who I was lucky to meet few years ago through our kids being on the same swim team. We teamed up as well and I am always looking forward to our walks, hikes and conversations. I hope she will like this surprise shawl. :-)
My thoughts going into this series of designs for friends are:
1. to use the color I know they love and wear;
2. design a shawl to complement their lifestyle and personality;
3. make future blocking easier for them by keeping the borders easy to block, since most of them are not knitters;

Rombik shawl features combination of clean lines and rhombus silhouettes set in the garter stitch. The shawl is knitted bottom-up. It is completely reversible and there are no purl stitches in this design. Grab your favorite yarn and have fun knitting.

Introductory 50% off sale until the end of this week (11pm PST, March 4th). Happy first day of Spring everyone!
