Ode to the Spring: a collection of sideways shawls

Post Updated September 17th 2013

My small shawls collection for the year 2013 will be centered on 2 themes: a sideways construction and the Spring. The collections will be comprised of 6 small shawls using only onle skein of 100gr of fingering weight yarn or the equivalent ( I will be using lace weight yarns held double in this collection, but you can substitute as much as you want!). All the yarns I will use are from my Shawl stash, see my post: A conquering stash: year two.

Ode to the Spring is now available and completed! You can buy it for a discounted price of 15$ until December 20th 2013. After the last pattern is added, price will be 18$.



I have been planning this for a while now and most of the designs to be included in the collection are fully charted and ready for sample knitting. While I cannot promise a set release date for each design, they will all be released to the subscribers during the year, starting in May 2013.

Return of the swallow - Released May 1st 2013



 Return of the Swallow is a uniquely constructed triangular shawl, worked from side to side with diagonal lines. In only one piece and finished with an attached edging along the small side of the asymmetrical triangle, it is both fun an intriguing to knit without being overly complicated.

You can now buy Return of the Swallow!




Apple Bloom - Released May 2013

Apple Bloom was first released exclusively as part of the lovely Biscotte&Cie yarn club and will be the second shawl of the collection to be released to the general public.
