I'm proud to introduce my latest pattern, now available for sale at Chiagu: Onda!
This rectangular stole is knit with 7 colors of Koigu KPPPM which shade from light to dark. I was thinking of the ocean when I knit this, and found great colors to capture that mood of waves crashing on the beach. The shawl would look equally great in other color progressions: I can imagine it in shades of green, for example, or bright reds and oranges. . . the options are endless!
The lace pattern is a straight-forward version of Feather and Fan so this pattern would be great for a beginning lace knitter to get her feet wet!
I spent part of the weekend organizing my stash and then a brilliant idea hit me: Why not sell KPPPM kits for this pattern?
So I went ahead and created a few colorways, so now you can buy this pattern either as a PDF download or as a kit.
The kits consist of 7 skeins of Koigu that I handpicked from my stash to work well in this design. When you order a kit, you will receive the yarn (I can wind it if you'd like me to, just ask in the special instructions) plus the pattern as a hard copy, and the skeins will be marked 1 through 7 so you know what order to knit them in.
Since most of my stash was bought before the latest price increase, I've decided to price the kits at $84 (which breaks down to $12 for each ball) and include the pattern for free. Shipping will be $5 and the kits will go out via USPS Priority Mail.
There are currently 5 color choices (and of course, each kit is unique and will never be replicated!) and I will add more if there's a demand. If you're looking for a certain look or color and none of these are what you're imagining, email me and I'll see what I can do. There's still plenty of Koigu where that came from! I figure I can share the wealth. ;o)
As always if you have any questions or need help, just email me! Thanks!
(oh, BTW, "onda" means "wave" in Portuguese)
How lovely, Ivete! Just, just beautiful!
how do you beautiful in portugese?
You can read my mind! I’ve just replenished my Koigu stock with loads of blue skeins!
You’ve been very productive these past couple of weeks ;-) When does Adam come home?
