It finally stopped raining, so I had the chance to photograph my newest shawl design: Ships in the Night.
This was my comfort knitting when Bisquee/Biscuit/BellaTrix/Trix was ill after her adventures in the fireplace. It’s probably the most soothing knit I’ve ever designed. So much zen garter stitch, with just enough Fibonacci sequence thrown into the striping that you don’t fall asleep knitting. “Ships in the Night” refers to the Fibonacci stripe patterns gliding past each other. I knit mine with two coordinating skeins of Knitted Wit’s Victory Sock yarn.
It’s an absolute joy to wear, too. Worn on the shoulders, the ends hang down nearly to my knees. It’s like a great big garter stitch hug.
Worn scarf style, it feels luxuriantly engulfing. Ella is much taller than I am, so it’s not quite as engulfing on her. Your mileage may vary. You could also wear it bandanna style, with both ends hanging in front. I did that yesterday.
For long-time readers who want to know: Bobbi is away at college, and Ella stepped in to help me out. Thanks, Ella!

What is the coupon code for Ships in the night shawl?
Love the designs pictured above. Looking forward to more.
Hooray!!! I’ve been waiting for this one–I have the perfect yarn in my stash. 🙂
So glad you like it! It’s a perfect stashbuster, especially if you have a variegated that doesn’t know what it wants to be. I love mixing variegated yarn with a semi-solid…everybody’s happy. Have fun!
