Shawl in 5 Colors: Work in Progress

My newest design is knit with a light fingering-weight yarn in five colors, and is a fantasy vision of a forest landscape, incorporating lace patterns of leaves and other forest foliage.

The shawl is asymmetrical (knit sideways), and progresses from geranium to red currant and then begonia, fairy and finally ecru.

In this photo, you see the first two colors: geranium and red currant.

The accessory requires 2 Coast Ombre Packs (purchased from tangledyarn.co.uk). The yarn is a light fingering weight in 55% merino lambswool and 45% cotton).

  1. Good Day,
    I just wanted to tell you that I think your designs are just stunning and I have enjoyed reading your site. Thank you for the falling leaves pattern. I can’t wait to be able:to start it. As an inspiring designer of lace shawls myself, should you ever find yourself in need of a test knitter, I would be honored to assist you in any way you need, whether it be proof reading or avtually stitching for you. Being disabled and home all the time, I would be able to produce what ever you need in a timely fashion.

    Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge, inspiration and designs with us. They are truly beautiful.

    Many blessings to you and yours. Thank you for your time. Have a wonderful and creative weekend.
