While I was writing the pattern for my new shawl design for a kit from Renaissance Dyeing, (see post here)
I decided it was a good idea to knit the same shawl but in a thicker yarn and with different colours
Here is the result:
A symmetrical triangle shawl
alternating ribbing, stripes and lace,
Fingering-Weight Medium and Worsted-Weight Large
The fingering-weight - size medium:
the colours are: Purple Passion (dark-purple)- Pewter (grey) - Dill (green) - Ciel (light blue)
knitting needles: 2,5mm or 2,75mm (US 1½ or 2)
The yarn/pattern kit - size medium - is also available at Renaissance Dyeing
(with the colours: dark purple/green/light blue/grey)
more info here
...
The worsted-weight - size large:
the colours are; grey, orange, purple and burgundy
knitting needles : 4 mm (US 6)
The pattern includes both fingering-weight and worsted-weight descriptions - more info here

I must say I'm quite proud of this new design
I'm very pleased with both my shawls
I've named the shawl Camille
after the french artist, Camille Claudel
(8 December 1864 – 19 October 1943)
She died 70 years ago this month

me with Camille at the Menhir du Cloître
Huelgoat - Brittany - France
how does one capture the colour changes ?
with a little help from the wind !
...
I'm working on another new design,
a crochet scarf/cowl this time
very soon on this blog !
:)
Your shawl design is simply gorgeous, Marylene, and I really like both colour combinations!!
ReplyDeleteNice photos by the Menhir, what a magnificent standing stone, very powerful.
I do not seem to get updates from this blog through blogger, so I am going to add myself as a follower once more to see if that works. Hopefully it will...
... it worked!! Both in blogger and in my blog list. Yay :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you fixed the blogger update stuff :)
DeleteThank you for your nice comment !
I forgot to tell this: Menhir is breton and it means: men: stone and hir: long :)
Oh, wonderfull pattern! especially for natural dyed wool. I love it. And your colour combinations.

Thank you Anne, I love to work with a lot of colours, especially the natural dyed wool :)
DeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeletej'ai admiré Camille chez http://www.helenespat.com/2015/04/le-chale-bleu-et-vert.html, j'ai donc acheté le modèle sur Ravelry malheureusement j'avais compris qu'il y avait la traduction française !
je ne peux pas tricoter votre modèle !
Comment avoir cette traduction sans acquérir le kit , sachant que je viens d'acheter le PDF 4,80€
Merci
Douce soirée
Fabienne
