Back!!! Finally.

It is hard to believe that is has almost (as in 3 days short) been a year since my last update. Let's rectify that.

Here are the newest colors available as of today:

SPRING - the name says it all.


SAND - a tone-in-tone combo of grey-blues and khaki


DELICIOUS - as in apples

Peachy Upstairs Scarf

I finally finished my Upstairs Scarf. What a nice pattern! It is easy and can be quickly memorized, yet it looks so sophisticated. It is available as a free download on Ravelry.

Yarn: one 100 gr skein of Wolle's Yarn Creations in colorway PEACHY
Needles: 3.25 mm (US #3)
Pattern: 5 pattern repeats + 6 stitches for garter stitch edging = 61 stitches width
Size: 58 x 9 inches (147 x 23 cm) lightly blocked

New Colorways

Here are some colorways recently added to the shop - wollesyarncreations.etsy.com:

LAKE NIGHT

PEACHY

Chadwick shawl

Stephen West's pattern Chadwick is a new favorite of mine. This is how my Chadwick looks:




The shawl consists of a clever design that juxtaposes two colors. Mine are BLUE HONEY and MELON:


BLUE HONEY is a color changing cotton yarn that gradually changes from blue to topaz to cigar.
MELON is, well, melon. It is a single color cotton yarn that provides the contrast to BLUE HONEY.

I shortened section II of the pattern to 11 inches (rather than 12) and was able to complete the shawl with one 50 gr skein of BLUE HONEY and MELON each. The yarn is available in the shop.

More Colors

Here is a quick updates on colors:

SUNSET
Gotta put some sun and color in this cold and dreary time of year... The colors, especially the orange, are really bright and strong.


SUMMER WAVES
What can I say? I just love anything blue and green. This combo reminds me of Caribbean waters, which I am truly missing.


All yarns are 100% cotton and very soft. One 100 gr skein has 480 yards, which is usually enough for a shawlette or scarf. More info is available here - wollesyarncreations.etsy.com

Color Update

A lot of things are happening at this time of the year. Here is an update of what is newly available in the shop. Some colorways are brand-new, others are old favorites making a re-appearance.

All yarns are 100% cotton and very soft; the yarns are fingering weight, some are also available as sport weight skeins. They all change colors gradually to create a unique effect.

GEMSTONES


SEAWEED


PEACOCK


NICKEL STAR

Colorido Sweater

I finished my Colorido Sweater:



It is a top-down, no-seams Raglan sweater knitted in bulky yarn. The sweater is for Wool-Aid's Tibet campaign, a campaign that seeks to support children left destitute after the devastating earthquake in Tibet in April. For more info about this wonderful organization: wool-aid.org
Wool-Aid also has a group on Ravelry - please join us!

I used Knitpicks' Wool of the Andes: 4.5 skeins of the main color - colorway Cadet and 0.5 skein each of the three contrast colors: Navy, Wine, and Porcini.

The pattern is available from Lismi, lismi.blogspot.com, or as a free download on Ravelry.
