Hot off my needles, it’s Floral Rhapsody! (Name may change, we’ll see. Give me your suggestions!)
This half-pi shawl features easy shaping, easy stitches, and assigned pooling. It’s knit with two skeins of fingering weight yarn, one of which is dyed for assigned pooling. I used A Chick that Knitz Singles Fingering in Vintage Rose (pooling) and Respect.
I’m looking for a few test knitters; let me know if you’re interested!
It took me six cast ons, but I finally heard what the yarn was trying to tell me. I love it!
Hi! I clearly can’t get enough assigned pooling in my life. If you still need test knitters, let me know. I have a wild few months coming up, but if the timeline works, I’d love to participate. – KVL
I clearly can’t get enough assigned pooling, either! I’m sending you an email…
So cute!! I am drowning in projects at the moment, or I would jump on the test knit train!
You can knit it eventually! I love seeing all your projects. And your cats.
Hi Michele, Lovely Shawl. If only I had time I would volunteer. Hopefully next time I could test knit. If for some reason you don’t get enough testers and it doesn’t have to be done until the end of October, then I might be able to squeeze it in to test knit. I do love your patterns. Yours truly,Debbie Braden
I’m aiming to have this shown at Rhinebeck with the dyer, so trying to get it done sooner. Thank you, though.
I’m liking the stripes that have the special stitches paired with the solid stripes.
That’s my favorite part!
I love how you described the yarn’s voice and the way you let it guide you through the six cast ons. The contrast between Vintage Rose and Respect in the assigned pooling really shows your attention to color harmony. It’s refreshing to see a shawl that balances ease of shaping with a clear pattern. The half‑pi shape feels like a gentle hug for the shoulders. Your enthusiasm is contagious, looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
