Pattern Stalking

Asked last week about a Gray Shawl, especially something that would work with gray gradients.  Heard from several people

Influence Shawl by Kelene Kinnersly, off-center triangle, kind of thin, mostly garter st with an eyelet lace edging.

Tea House Brooke Shawl by Jennifer Lassonde, aka BostonJen, triangular shawl starting with stockinette and working through different simple textures to keep  it interesting

Curious Collective 2014 by Curious Handmade, aka Helen Stewart, half-circle shawl alternative garter st and lace

Crossflower Shawl by Katinka Designs, new larger version for gradients.  Garter st and lace columns, large off-center triangle

Ilumine by Num Teasdale – gorgeous lace, but not sure I have the brain power for it just now

Wearables

Mommy’s Tunic – I wore my sample out of Be Sweet Bamboo fibers and promptly spilled something down the front.  I think I wore it for 2 hours total.  Soaked and washed it, it’s fine.  Still kicking myself.

Linen Butterflies – the ¾ sleeve version

Addition By Subtraction Shawl – an mkal pattern by TryStitchual Designs

Changing Staircases in FIber Lady's Mousou bamboo yarn
