New pattern: The Chaya Shawl!
I'm very excited to introduce you to my latest design, the Chaya Shawl and Shawlette!
This shawl is another example of my love for playing with handpainted and self-striping yarns. The knitting on this one is pretty easy: just garter stitch, dropped stitches, and yarn overs, but knitting each half of the triangle in a different direction makes it look way more complicated than it is. The shawl above was knit in Noro Kureyon Sock yarn, and only one skein makes the whole shawl! That's a pretty awesome deal for a Christmas present if you ask me . . .
I also knit up a smaller version using one skein of Colinette Jitterbug sock yarn:
The colorway here is my favorite Colinette colorway, Bright Charcoal, and I've been wearing this little shawlette as a scarf. I love the way the colors play with eachother and the texture of the fabric!
The pattern is available from my webshop or through Ravelry for $5.00. You'll get an immediate email with a link to download the PDF.
Here's a few more shots of the shawls in case you want to see them from various angles, starting with the back of the full-size:
I hope you like this new pattern as much as I do. As always, if you have any questions let me know!

Hi Amy, yes, it’s picked up along the side and knit in the other direction — no seams! =)

I’m just curious how you joined them ~ did you pick up stitches and turn your work or did you graft it together?
