Marigold Shawl

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post, as I've been busy with family matters. But clearly, I still haven’t ran out of this Nako Elit Baby yarn, and this is the third design after the Dusky Sky Hat and Powder Stripes Shawl that I made using it. It's so soft and easy to work with and has a very pretty color scheme that I just love to work with it. Now this shawl, with its classic triangular shape, has a four rows pattern that is repeated three times within the general pattern. It has one specific new trick, which is to make five stitches out of one in a row, then knit them together in the next row. To me, the pattern looks like twigs with little leaves on both sides, or like wheat ears, though you are free to imagine whatever you like. The lacy waves edging rows will give you a very beautiful and cozy shawl that’s perfect for these unusually chilly spring days. Hope you have an enjoyable time making it!

Claire Inspired Cowl

Hi everyone! I've been fond of the knitted garments that Outlander characters wear for quite a while now and have been told by multiple people to just go for it and make something inspired by them. I know how popular the series is, and after the release of every season my timeline gets flooded with knitters making their beautiful yet simple shawls and scarves. But this time, when I saw Claire wearing this specific cowl, I wanted to make one myself after I instantly fell in love with it. Adding one or two of my touches, such as porthole eyelet as a method of increasing stitches, may seem to have made it slightly difficult to knit, but you can watch my tutorial video and see how easy it is once you get the into the rhythm of it. If you’re waiting for the next episode of Outlander, you might want to use your time making this quick one skein project. Have a nice knitting day guys!

Reef Waves Shawlette

Hi everyone! Most of the time, I buy yarn on a whim, without a prior plan for what I’m gonna do with it. The color or texture would excite me at first so I purchase it, then, when I sit down browsing online to see what I can make out of it, I get into this endless loop of trial and error, which is really tiring most of the time. And this is exactly what happened with the yarn I used for this shawlette. I impulsively bought a bag of five skeins, only to find out later how hard it is to work this kind of yarn into a pattern. But isn’t this a nice challenge that makes knitting more exciting and worthwhile? And so, after draining half of my mental powers, the five skeins became the Crimson krill shawl and this shawlette. I think they both look very pretty, are incredibly easy to make, and leave you with this soft and cozy feeling on your skin when worn during these spring days and nights. I hope you give knitting it a try and have a lovely time doing it. Stay safe and healthy!

Net Weave Scarf

Hi knitters! It's been a while since I've made a scarf, even though scarves had been the majority of my designs in in the early years of my blog. This scarf is simple, but I've chosen to label it as ‘intermediate’ because of the method of stitch increase that I used at the beginning of it. You can choose to ditch the way I started the scarf if you want an easier knit, but don't worry, if you like to knit it the way I did, I've posted a tutorial video that shows the special stitches I used (m1L and m1R) on my YouTube channel. This scarf makes a matching set with the Net Weave Toque, which you can find in my previous post. I highly recommend you check it out if you like this design and pattern. Have a nice knitting day!

Row 19: (k 1, p 1) twice, k 1, *(yo, ssk) four times, k 8, repeat from * once more, (yo, ssk) four times, k 1, (p 1, k 1) twice.
