Rosalie Tam

Rosalie tam started out of a very selfish need, and as usual a surplus of stash yarn! Here you can see me, for one of the only times in my life where I chose to model myself (I dearly hate the very thought of it!).

For this hat, I wanted a vintage feel, something I could use to add a 'je ne sais quoi' to my Fall and Winter outfits.

In no time, I sorted trough my favorite old stitchionary and found a lovely lace, intended to be used in layettes. I struggled a bit with in until I had a stroke of genius (well, maybe not genius, but I solved my problem anyway!), removed some rows, changed some decreases and ended up with a lovely 'in the round only' lace pattern.

The result is a very, very, easy lace tam, with a pretty rolled brim and a unique lace pattern. It is made out of a little bit of sport weight wool, here Knitpicks Andean Treasure in the lovely colorway 'Meringue Heather'.

Oxalis

Oxalisc is the fifth shawl of my 2013 collection, 'Ode to the Spring'. The base for this shawl was the beautiful yarn I had in my stash for some time. I always loved the way cables and lace compliment each other and I knew I had the perfect yarn for this.

My goal for this shawl was to create a very light and feminine look, with a large border and a lot of open space. I used an extremely simple fagoting for the lace and an almost as simple cable in between the panels, for a shawl that looks way more complicated than it really is.

The points are carefully worked to be sharp and graceful.
