With a project finished, I can start a new one! This will be an asymmetrical triangle in garter stitch, with a solid purple lace border

This shawl is done! Next up is blocking, and getting the pattern to my editor

#FlashbackThursday The Elena Half Hap was the very first half hap I designed. It's still one of my favorite shawls to wear when it's a bit chilly!

When blocking, I really like to put my lace shawls under a lot of tension to bring out the patterning. In this case, the buckling of the mats got so bad, I had to put my dumbbells, and weight plates all around to keep everything in place

This shawl is almost done! A couple of more repeats, and this one can go to the blocking mats

Last but not least: the Atomic Tangerine by LismoreLady! In this project, she used assorted colors of sport weight merino yarns from her stash. It looks like this was a pretty good stash busting effort!

With the Big Round Shawl, I'm really counting down the remaining stitches. Currently, there are only 64 stitches left to bind-off. In other words: Only 8 more leaves to knit!

The next Atomic Tangerine project, is by my dear tester, StarStrong. She used a worsted weight yarn, and worked extra repeats to still get a decently sized shawl. Isn't it pretty in this gradient?

My wavy stripes stole is finished! Unblocked, the stole is about 160 cm / 63" long, I expect it will be nice and big after blocking

Marthajane73 was so sweet to test my newest pattern: Atomic Tangerine. She used a DK weight yarn held double, to get a yarn similar to bulky. I really love the rustic feel of this version

My Gothic Flamingo shawl is progressing nicely. The third ball of yarn has been attached, and the rows are very clearly getting shorter now! Have a lovely Friday

#FlashbackThursday Diva is one of my older designs, I still really love the border in the one-skein half circle shawl

Current obsession This is Spellcaster by Anne Hanson (Knitspot) in some elderly NDS Falkland/silk

It looks like a dish rag just now, but just wait until it's blocked

For my Wavy Stripes stole I ordered, and received a much longer circular needle. As you can see, the needle is now much less crowded

On this shawl, I've been done some more knitting: the second ball of yarn is almost used up. So, time to get the third skein of yarn. Have a lovely Friday!

While the Atomic Tangerine pictured is knit in a bulky-weight yarn, the patterning is very flexible and can easily be knit in other yarn weights. Just repeat the body pattern until your shawl is the desired size!

I redid the pick-up rate on this project, much better now! The project is now on 100 cm needles, and it's getting very crowded. I will have to order a much longer circular needle to be able to make the border as deep as I would like it...
