Kompott
A bit of this and that! A shawl that no longer is – I’ve realized that I prefer shawls with a point at middle back, they somehow lay better around the shoulders… so I ripped this one out. Otherwise the pattern is nice, and free on Ravelry here. And below, some old blog links that…

WIP: Jenny’s Faith
Just when I thought, hey, I have no crochet projects and should start one, I came across the lovely shawl Jenny’s Faith on Ravelry, which is a free download for a time. I realized a bit late that most of it is worked bottom up, so there’s a risk that my striped yarn will…

Färg!
I’ve finally made up my mind about my color choice for the Color Craving KAL. Choosing two colors is easy, but when I need to add a third my life gets so much more complicated for some reason! 🙂 Pink Malabrigo Sock + dark bluish green Cascade Heritage + light greenish blue…

Riot
Hooray for color! I’ve worked from the free pattern Riot, except for the order of the colors. This is a fantastic way to use up smaller scraps of yarn – not a single end to weave in. These photos are from when I was halfway through – after some fierce knitting I’m actually finished.…

Color Craving mystery shawl!
Guess what? Stephen West’s new mystery shawl KAL starts in September! Yay! I can’t wait to get started – I absolutely love his designs. I’ve already bought the setup and chosen my 3 colors of yarn (I think). I’m having issues deciding in which order I want to use them, though. Ugh! You can find…

WIP: Esjan
Doesn’t really reveal much, eh? This is a heavy weight shawl for autumn, the lovely Esjan by Stephen West, that I cast on for a while back now. I’ll return to this one soon! I’ve had the yarn in my stash for ages, a really lovely wool/silk blend – it so cozy, you wouldn’t believe…

FO: Color Affection
Finally! I finished this in December (!), but first it took me ages to weave in the ends, and then to actually take some photos? Some things you never get around to, it seems. But, here we have my Color Affection! It’s a garter stitch shawl, shaped in striped short rows. Fun and easy…

Garter in green! (Rätstickning i grönt!)
They’ve had this simple shawl hanging in a LYS of mine – just a rectangle in garter stitch on 12 mm needles, and finished off with a crochet picot border. Simple, but it looks and feels gorgeous! So, I finally caved in and bought yarn for my own. I’ll use the same base,…

KAL knitting (and a crochet shawl)! / Mysteriestickande (och en virkad sjal!)
Here are some non-revealing pics of my mystery knitting. Together with the selfstriping one I’ve already shown you, I’ve finished up 3 already – the dark pink is the forth! Since it’s a quick knit and requires so little yarn, I can’t seem to help myself. ^.^ The pink on one is Colinette…

TTL mystery shawl, clue 1 (Spoiler!)
Here comes my version of TTL mystery shawl, clue 1! I had to dive in the yarn stash again, since my original choice scattered away to other projects… So, I finally went for a yellow/green Noro skein, a white Cascade Heritage, and a yellow Jitterbug. Unfortunately I’m way behind and haven’t worked clue 2…
