Ambiente Modular Shawl

Two thoughts keeping floating through my mind as I knit this triangular Modular Shawl: from a small acorn a mighty tree will grow and wasn’t building with Legos fun as a kid. The shawl starts with a single pentagon – the acorn – and grows up to a generous shoulder-covering wrap. And from that single pentagon more pentagons, squares and half squares are added, each built upon the previously worked modular unit – the Legos.

Noro Bonbori Log Cabin Throw

This last week Bonnie surprised and delighted all of us at Colorful Stitches when she unfurled her creation, the Bonbori Log Cabin Throw. Even with the preparations for our just concluded sale she found the time to design and finish her throw – a testament to how much fun it was to knit.

Missoni Inspired Poncho

Recently I dropped all other knitting to concentrate on making the Chevron Spaghetti Strap Poncho from the book, S. Charles Collezione Spring/Summer 2009. It was so very Missoni-like. Ever since the 1970’s the ready-to-wear knitwear created by the husband and wife team of Rosita and Ottavio Missoni has enthralled me.

32 Flavors Handspun Yarn

I’m having a love affair with a yarn. The object of my affection is the handspun, self-striping, single ply 32 Flavors created by Stephanie McKay. Though I haven’t counted all the saturated colors I’m certain there are 32 and possibly more. And though the brilliant colors caused my heart to first flutter, one touch cinched the relationship. 32 Flavors is one of the softest merino wools I have ever felt.

Quick Knit Scarf

The big stitch Gedifra striped scarf captured my attention as I was adding the book, Gedifra Moments 0210, plus projects from it to our online store. The scarf’s combination of texture and color was too inviting – it had to be knitted. And so I did.
