New Colors

I just added some new colorways to the shop, Wolle's Yarn Creations.

TRIPLE BERRY I + II and SUMMER NIGHT I + II


The yarns are 100% cotton and have a yardage of 480 per 100 gr skein; they change colors gradually. One skein is usually enough for a midsize shawl or shawlette. Recommended needle size: US 2-4

Baktus Shawl

I finished my second Baktus Shawl. I really like this pattern - it is as easy as it gets yet so much fun to knit.

Shawl details:
Yarn used: 2 x 50 gr of Color Changing Cotton in LILAC BLOSSOMS I + II (one skein each); the yarn is available at wollesyarncreations.etsy.com
Needles: 3.25 mm
Size: 72 inches x 15.5 inches
Pattern: Baktus - available for free here.

Visiting Neighbor

Imagine my surprise this morning when I found this visiting neighbor in our yard!
Luckily she liked the dewey grass enough to leave the garden alone... Happy Earthday everyone!

Tuscany Shawl

Finished!! Tuscany Shawl


Pattern: Tuscany by Amy R. Singer (published in the book: No Sheep for You)
Yarn: Wolle's Yarn Creations' 4-ply cotton; 1 skein in BLUE BASIL
Needles: 3.25 mm
Measurements: 63 inches along the straight edge, 18 inches down the middle

The pattern looks much more complicated than it is - the lace repeat is straight forward and easy to memorize. I really like the shape of this shawl: it is really wide and fairly "flat" making it perfect for wrapping around the neck.

LILAC BLOSSOMS

Lilacs are blooming,
so here are LILAC BLOSSOMS I and II.

My LILAC BLOSSOMS aren't as fragnant as the real ones, but they last longer... :)
More info and more colors are available in my shop, Wolle's Yarn Creations

SUNSET Tee

Introducing my first actual garment made out of Color Changing Cotton: Sunset Tee - a little summer top. Now we just need the weather to go with it...

Yarn: Color Changing Cotton 6ply in colorway SUNSET (2.5 skeins)
Where to get yarn: Wollesyarncreations.etsy.com
Needles: 4 mm (US 6)
Pattern: Tee for Two by Helene Rush
Changes made:
a)Instead of seaming the sides I did a 3-needle bind-off and then knit the sleeves in the round.
b)I added a knitted border in reverse stockinette around the neckline.

New Additions

Here are some new color additions now available at Wolle's Yarn Creations:

JEANSY BLUE I + II
This yarn was already available as a 6ply; now the 4ply cousin is up for grabs, too.
A 6ply skein has 320 yds/100 gr, a 4ply skein 480 yds/100gr.


SILVER NAVY I + II
This is the new 6ply or sport weight version of this nice colorway. SILVER NAVY was already available as a 50 gr skein in the 4ply or light fingering weight.
