Citron Shawlette

Here is my first finished object knitted out of the new 6-ply Color Changing Cotton yarn. I used one skein of AQUAFROG:



The pattern is called Citron and was published in Knitty, Winter 2009, and can be found here.

Introducing: 6-ply

Color Changing Cotton yarn is now available as a 6-ply. This slightly thicker cousin of the 4-ply yarn is available in 100 gr skeins in my Etsy shop, Wolle's Yarn Creations.
This 6-ply yarn has appr. 320 yds/100 gr and is a sport/DK weight. With a US size 6 needle, projects with this yarn knit up quickly... So far these colorways are available (more coming soon):

ORANGE CHOCOLATE I and II


AQUAFROG I and II


PURPLE SALMON I and II


GOLDEN PURPLE I and II

Snow, snow, snow

This last weekend we had a big winter storm passing through Virginia. It started snowing Friday night and continued for 24 hours. The result were 2 feet of the fluffy white stuff. I love it when everything gets quiet and calm as if covered by one big blanket - only that blanket was for real this time...

NEW: skein size - color - FO

Here are a lot of NEWs:

Introducing the brand-new 30 gr mini-skeins specifically designed for small lace projects now available in my shop Wollesyarncreations. These are (the new) colorways TROPICAL and TROPICAL II:

This is the inaugural project made out of the first mini skein:
It is the Yarn Harlot's "Pretty Thing" - the name fits, doesn't it??

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!)


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.

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).


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).

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
