Wave & Ripple - Knitter's Magazine Spring 2010

Picture


I designed this shawl for Knitter's Magazine using three hand-dyed yarns from Fiesta Yarns - La Luz, La Boheme, and Ballet.  

It is knit length-wise using multiple wraps which are then dropped on the following row - and the rest of the rows are knit.  You can follow the suggested color sequence, or change yarns/colors at random.  It's a very creative, yet simple process with you as the designer!

Textured Slit Wrap with Crocheted Flowers



This is a totally fun wrap - one tie slips through a slit opening in the front.  The lattice design with crocheted flowers adds a bit of charm!  From the S. Charles Collezione Fall/Winter 2008 pattern booklet.

Shown in S. Charles Collezione Pasha - a soft, bulky weight bouclé-type yarn in a blend of extrafine wool and cashmere. It is available in a palette of neutrals and subtle brights.

This piece works up quickly on US size 10.5 needles.
