Finished!!! SEASCAPE Shawl

My Seascape shawl is finished!!




I used one 100 gr skein each of Wolle's Yarn Creations' cotton SEASCAPE and SEASCAPE II. The pattern is Evelyn Clark's Seascape Shawl. The pattern is written in garter stitch. I modified it and knitted the main lace portion in stockinette; the border is in garter stitch following the original pattern.
The shawl measures 56 inches in width and 24.5 inches down the center.

PACIFIC PASTEL

Introducing: PACIFIC PASTEL and PACIFIC PASTEL II.




This is a Color Changing Cotton yarn consisting of 4 colors. The yarn is available in 100 gr skeins in my shop Wollesyarncreations.etsy.com

And another one....

Here is another new colorway posted a few minutes ago in my shop - this one is really pretty, at least I think so.

WINTER PASTEL and WINTER PASTEL II

The colors are a soft purple, light blue, and mint green. I can't wait to try this one myself... This colorway is available in 50 as well as 100 gr skeins.

New Colors, Swatches, and a WIP

CORAL REEF is a vibrant combination of purple, teal, and blue. Knitted up it looks like this:

(The color is not brand-new, but I just now finished the swatch.)This color is available in 100 gr skeins in my shop: wollesyarncreations.etsy.com

CALIFORNIA is a brand new colorway. I guess I am not completely ready to let summer go...

And, yes, the swatch is ready. Sometimes I am on top of things!

And last but not least another colorway and a new WIP. The colorway is called SEASCAPE and I am using it to make the Seascape Shawl by Evelyn Clark.


SEASCAPE is available in 50 and 100 gr skeins.

FO: Baktus

While I was at NoSoKnit last Saturday, I not only met with new and old friends, but I also finished my first Baktus (yes, first, but certainly not last one).



The scarf turned out really well if I may say so myself. The colors look so much nicer knitted up then they appeared on the skein and the yarn is soooo soft against the skin.

Stats:
I used one 50 gr skein each of GREEN MEDLEY and GREEN MEDLEY II knitted on US3 needles. Final dimensions are 57 inches end to end and 12 inches at the widest point.

NoSoKnit 2009

On Saturday, September 26, 2009 I went to Roanoke, VA to attend the 12th annual NoSoKnit. NoSo is a yearly gathering of 100 or so knitters from the North and the South. Roanoke is geographically located in the middle, so the meet established itself there.

The weather was dreary, rainy, and nasty - what a perfect day to spend knitting among friends. We had a wonderful time.



There were also opportunities to support the local economy, which we did:


Rae and Tere are the two organizers, and the two are doing a terrific job every year getting wonderful door prizes. This year I was really lucky and received 6 skeins of Cascade 220, which I plan to use for Warm Woolies projects.


Thank you Rae and Tere for a great day!!

FOLIAGE

Since the leaves are starting to turn here in Virginia, I thought I add FOLIAGE and FOLIAGE II to my shop:


This is how the colors look knitted in a swatch:
