All-O-Ruffles Shawl

This shawl is part of a series of shawls. The shawl has ruffles all around, and the “O” stand for the many holes in the lace pattern. The ruffles are done directly as you knit along. The shawl looks nice from both sides, so it is reversible. Just one ball of sock yarn offers a size of 220 x 65 cm.

Happy Easter Shawl

I only had planned to just knit a shawl. But several knitters asked me to write a pattern for this one.
It isn’t easy to find names, so I just called this one Happy Easter Shawl because I knitted it in the week before Easter.

Baltic Sea Breeze Shawl

Here is the pattern of the Baltic Sea Breeze Shawl for you. The yarn is from  Ullcentrum (environmentally friendly yarn production), and thereby from Swedish sheep that had the Baltic Sea Breeze blowing around their nose and wool. It is very easy to knit, needs a thorough blocking and can be knitted as lage as you want it. Additionally it is wider than just a triangle, so it stays on the shoulders nicely and doesn’t slip down.

Lottorp Shawl

Here you can find the pattern for the Lottorp Shawl. I named it after the small city Löttorp on the island Öland in Sweden. The company Ullcentrum, where I got this wonderful wool from, is situated in Löttorp.  They produce environmentally friendly yarn since almost 15 years now and were the first to introduce this way of making a variegated yarn, because Ann Linderhjelm devoloped it. Here you can read interesting facts about the company. They also produce wonderful felted clothing, hot mats etc.

I like shawls that are a bit more than half a circle, so this one is a 5/8 th shawl that warms nicely and doesn’t slip from the shoulders.

Pattern Verdal Jacket

At the weekend in summer 2011 when I spun the wool for this jacket, a horrible terrorist attack happened in Norway. It was hard to believe what happened there. I could completely sympathise with the Norwegians, feel their horror, sorrow and consternation. Norwegians are very cosmopolitan with all their heart. I also felt with my relatives in Norway, who live in Verdalsöra in the Verdal valley. That is why I called this jacket Verdal. I think this name is quite suitable because it shows that colours match that you would not usually put together. Which is the same with many different nationalities, that enrich a single nation.

More information about the processing  of the wool and the jacket can be found here

For knitters who don’t spin eg this wool can be suitable,  3-ply variegated yarn  from Ullcentrum.

 

The pattern for the cowl is also  in this blog, Remembrance Cowl.

Cats love those bags, as you can see here:

And if you knit the bag only up to row 31 and then bind off, it can be a beautiful cat home:
