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
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.
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!
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.
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
