This is the first design in the series of Shawls for Friends. Follow the tag “shawlsforfriends” above to see the rest. ;-)

January 16, 2018

This year I would like to design and knit several shawls for some friends who have been kind to me over the years, but especially this past year. This is the first design with more to come.
My thoughts going into this series of designs for friends are:

  1. to use the color I know they love and wear;
  2. design a shawl to complement their lifestyle and personality;
  3. make future blocking easier for them by keeping the borders easy to block, since most of them are not knitters;

First time knitting little nupps and it is much easier than I thought. I am using the crochet hook to make them and it works much better, for me, than using knitting needle.

Skeins were very overweight.
1st skein: (86+44)=130 g. Yarn had a break.
2nd skein: (69+65)=134 g. Yarn also had several breaks. ;-(

14 g left out of total 264g.
shawl took 250g or 796 yards.

I tried to have some pictures taken of my latest shawl, but it was too dark for good pics and I will have to try again another day. However, I really love few pics taken in the rays of the setting sun. Love the golden hour. yellow_heartyellow_heartyellow_heart

Adding some inspiration pictures. Flowers pics taken by me in the garden of my friend who this shawl is for ;-) You can follow my nature photography along with knitting adventures on Instagram.

I designed and knitted this shawl for my friend Victoria, who is like Queen mom to everyone and very generous and welcoming host. She said recently that yellow is her favorite color, so I hope she will like this surprise shawl ;-)
Pattern will be published later today or tomorrow :-)
