Cigarettes & Violets? =)

Not that I have ever smoked, but I love the song Cigarettes & Violets by Jesse Malin. I can`t seem to find a video that is not a live recording, so the sound is not the best... =)

I had an idea of a shawl with the petals of a flower around the edge, and this is the first try. I am quite happy with it, but I am not a fan of the yarn... Everyone seems to love it, but I just can`t understand why... *lol*

Facts:
Pattern: My design - Cigarettes and Violets Shawlette
Usage: Wollmeise 100% Merino Superwash on 4,5 mm needles.

As usual, the shawlette is named after a songtitle! I like the Hellacopters cover the best, so here it is - Darling Darling:

Too Deep?

The pattern was full of errors, so I had to knit through it once more. And STILL it had errors... *lol*

This time I used ca. 52 grams handspun merino on 5 mm needles. The colour is Bruised Grape - handdyed by Trenchwork. Love it! Supersoft and squishy to spin and knit! =)

Out Of My Head! =)

I`ve made a new shawl with handspun yarn - Polwarth in the Light in August colourway. And I am SO happy with the result! *yey*

I present to you the Out Of My Head Shawlette - a new design by Mona mono! =)















Facts:
Usage: ca. 81 gr. and ca. 330 meters handspun light fingering weight yarn on 5 mm needles.
Yarn: Light in August, Polwarth from Bride Flight Studios on etsy.
Pattern: This is my design and I am writing down the pattern, and hopefully it will be available soon in some form. =)

The shawlette is named after the beautiful song by Pete Molinari - Look What I Made Out (Of My Head Ma), since the first one was made as a gift for my mother. But I felt like shortening it up a bit for some reason… *lol*



Blocking:

Another Headcoat! =)

And I have been asked for the Headcoat-pattern, so I have worked with writing the pattern down these last days. I have also knitted another one - and this fits my head perfectly. Well - at least before washing... I wonder if the yak will grow a bit after washing... Hm...

Pattern: My design - mono`s Headcoat.
Usage: ca. 86 gr. - one thread brown yak/merinowool from Stäkets Hantverk & Design and one thread blue wool from Holst Garn. Both fingering weights. I used both 4mm and 3mm needles.
