Darling Darling Stay With Me Shawlette - pattern published! =)

Here is the lace version of the Darling Darling Stay With Me Shawlette! *yey*

Facts:
Pattern - my design: Darling Darling Stay With Me Shawlette
Materials: 51 grams lace weight yarn - tULLiBaLL`s I en tynn tråd; 4,5 mm needles.

I chose to block this shawl, and it is cool to see how different the same pattern can turn out using different yarns. =)

   

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

Crossroads...

 Crossroads - Don McLean



Enjoy! =)

Ebba - Always In My Head Shawlette =)

I am SO happy with this little cloud of a shawl! =)
I used about 88 grams of my handspun Ebba&Polwarth - 1 thread dogswool from my sweetheart Ebba and 1 thread Polwarth - on 5,5 mm needles. I wanted a softer and more romantic edging on this shawlette, so I made a new edging with a crochet bind off on the Out Of My Head Shawlette. =)

tULLiBaLL var en hyggelig overraskelse! Nydelig, mykt og vakkert! Godt å strikke av, også! =)

Jeg har dessverre ikke hatt overskudd til å sjekke blogger i det siste, men jeg ønsker med dette alle en deilig mai-helg! =)

And then some... =)

En nyhet er perler av metall. De er skinnende blanke, små og lette og lyser opp i strikketøyet! Det kommer snart sett i sølvfarget metall, også. =)

Håper solen har varmet dere i dag, også! Ha en fin søndag! =)

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! =)
