Greetings from Asbury Park

I'm so excited to share my first pattern of 2016,  Asbury Park, which is now available on Ravelry! Asbury Park is an asymmetrical, triangular-shaped shawl with a lace edge reminiscent of waves.  The shawl is worked flat with a lace edge on one side.  Since the lace edging is also worked in garter stitch, the shawl…

Dryads

Dryads is my new pattern available on Ravelry!  I am super excited with how this pattern turned out! Take a look: Dryads is an asymmetrical triangular-shaped shawl knit using approximately 400 yards of fingering weight yarn.  For the sample, I used one skein of Voolenvine Yarns Lush Base (colorway shown is Phantom Fathom).

Color Affection Fun.

Now that I've finished the Pirates of the Phantom Waves Legwarmers, I think I will start another Color Affection Shawl. I've knit this popular shawl two times and, after all of the colorwork for the Pirates of the Phantom Waves Legwarmers, I'm ready for some garter stitch heaven. I've gone to my stash and I…

Sneak Peek – Dunwoody

Dunwoody is off my needles and blocking now. I loved the KnitPicks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn that I used for this shawl. Soft and squishy and so reasonably priced. A generous 462 yards which was just enough Dunwoody with the Crown Picot Edging. I'm finalizing the pattern so stay tuned... I'll be offering a coupon…

Sneak Peek – Seaside Color Affection
