Summer shawls

[frith_in_thorns]

Some knitting photos from this summer. I always mean to make these posts more regularly! I've also been making various small things for people, including lots of baby clothes for my tiny new cousin. Those are less interesting photos, though, so here are three recent shawls.

Volcano shawl. My new love is gradient yarn. I bought this yarn from Wollelfe (they're in Austria) and found a pattern to go with it. Pattern is Lightning Thief.




Eleanor's birthday shawl. I can't remember what sort of yarn this was now. Pattern is Mayan Garden.




Rainbow dragon shawl. Made entirely from small bundles of 4ply wool I found in a basket in a charity shop. I still have a lot left over for future rainbow projects! Pattern is Sea Dragon.

OH RIGHT thank you for the reminder about sea dragon, THAT'S something I can do with the huge bag of yarn a friend just dumped on me!

Sea Dragon! :D SO MANY ENDS TO WEAVE IN and I got really bored of garter stitch, but I adore my rainbow dragon :D It looks really really good wrapped twice around my shoulders and pinned.

Those are gorgeous, all three of them (I do like gradient wool too) though I think the rainbow dragon shawl is my favourite. The pattern itself is really quite something and the colour choices make fabulous! :D

I have more cakes of gradient yarn to get to! Sadly I have to clear some of my knitting queue before I can justify making myself another shawl...

Those are all amazingly beautiful, but I particularly love the volcano one. GORGEOUS.

Thank you! :D The volcano one is my favourite too. Such beautiful yarn!

I think I like the volcano shawl best, but those are all marvelous!

I'm SO pleased with how the volcano one especially turned out. Thank you! :)

The volcano is my favourite, but they're all pretty.

[frith_in_thorns]

Thank you! :) I love making pretty things :)

All of these three screamed "dragon" at me actually. Stunning!
