Another FO - CLAPOTIS

I finished my fourth Clapotis. (The pattern was written by Kate Gilbert and published in the Fall 2004 edition of Knitty - one of the most popular patterns ever!)

003 SUNBURST Clapotis
I used 3 skeins (50 gr each) of my Color Changing Cotton in colorway SUNBURST, which is available in my shop here, knitted on US 3 (3.25 mm) needles.
023 Sunburst
I added 2 or 3 more repeats of the increase section to make the shawl a bit wider.

New Colors in the Shop

Here are new colorways available in my shop - wollesyarncreations.etsy.com.

GREEN OCEAN + GREEN OCEAN II
The pictures don't do the real colors justice. GREEN OCEAN is a really nice blend of blues and greens. This colorway is available in 100 gr skeins (=480 yds/skein).
018 Green Ocean II + Green Ocean010 Green Ocean Swatch

SILVER PURPLE + SILVER PURPLE II
This colorway is not totally new, but I finally finished the swatch. SILVER PURPLE and SILVER PURPLE II are available in 50 gr skeins (=240 yds/skein).
036 b Silver Purple + Silver Purple II
005 Silver Purple Swatch

Warm Woolies Lands' End Campaign

I recently finished two projects for the Warm Woolies Lands' End campaign. The yarn was donated by Lands' End to Warm Woolies volunteers; the finished projects will be distributed around Christmas time to tribal reservations. More info about this campaign can be found here.

From the Heart Baby Blanket. This blanket was designed by Lismi. (Please check her website for all of her wonderful designs.)

The blanket is about 44 x 46 inches and weighs almost 3 lbs. It is not your typical baby blanket, but it surely will keep a child warm and toasty this winter.

Steppe Ahead Vest. This vest was supposed to be a sweater, but I ran out of yarn for the sleeves. The pattern is one of my favorites and was written by Irina Makarow
