Confetti Scarf/Neck Warmer

Another new pattern! Hoorah!!! This fun scarf was inspired by my handspun yarn and a stitch pattern that kept calling my name. Here's a fun photo collage showing it from fiber to scarf.

The PDF pattern can be found on Ravelry, Craftsy, and in my etsy shop. It's 50% off until the end of the month.

What if....

...I added a bit of color?

...hand-pulled roving in the basket

...on the bobbin

...in the hand....43 yards 2-ply bulky weight yarn.

I think it needs more color.

Introducing Emma....

...a Shetland lace half hap shawl....and my latest pattern release. After months of spinning, designing, knitting, and pattern writing it is finally done. The pattern can be found on Ravelry, Craftsy, and in my etsy shop. It's 50% off until the end of June. There are coupon codes for Ravelry and etsy.

The shawl (and swatch shawl in grey) was knit using handspun Shetland and Shetland/ Alpaca blend yarn. The large shawl was knit using a worsted weight yarn and size 9 needles. The swatch shawl was knit from a heavy fingering weight using size 5 needles. Instructions for both are included plus a bonus pattern for knitting the worsted weight version using fingering weight yarn. The 17 page pattern includes charts, written instructions, color photos, and helpful hints.


I know I should be tooting my own horn a bit more about this.......I'm just so tickled to have finally finished it and being able to share it with everyone.  :)
