So, the rain has driven me to yarn and needles…..
The weather today has been annoying. Gloriously sunny one moment, then peeing with rain the next!
As a result I’ve had a bit of a disturbed day in the garden. I managed to get some gardening done this morning in between showers but this afternoon my mind turned to yarn!
Regular readers will remember I had this lovely delivery earlier in the week.
After stroking and squishing the yarn a lot, I came up with a design for a knitted asymmetrical shawl for the “Koigu KPPM” (the multicoloured one on the right!) The others I have another idea for but only starting one more WIP at a time!
This afternoon I’ve started knitting up my design. Which involves sections of garter stitch and some lacy sections too.
I’m pleased with how it looks so far but I still have quite a long way to go as you can see!
I’ll share more as I progress and put the pattern up once I’ve tested it fully!

That yarn looks YUMMY!’ 😋
thanks. it’s lovely!!!!!! not used it before and it was a bit of an impulse purchase. glad I bought it! 😊
It’s always nice to spoil yourself 😃
An absolutely beautiful variegated yarn – I have never seen that colour combination and it catches the light so nicely. The colours remind of a beautiful garden. The asymmetric shawl is looking lovely. Looking forward to seeing more of this beautiful WIP (also, is the ball of yarn hand-wound?)
thanks. it is a beautiful colour. I thought it would go nicely with lots of things! I’ve got a ball-winder for when I buy skeins. I got in a terrible mess trying to wind by hand!! 😂
What beautiful yarn, I can’t wait to see how it ends up 🙂
thanks. it’s gorgeous isn’t it (the yarn!)
I love the colors in that yarn!! 😀
thanks. it’s gorgeous isn’t it! 😊 it looks better the longer this shawl gets too!
That’s a lovely shawl design,and it works so well with that yarn!
Thanks. I’m going too post more pictures soon. it’s growing and the yarn looks better and better the longer it gets! 😊
I bet! I love asymmetrical designs of this kind. They really show off fun yarns well!
yes. I wanted the yarn to be the main event in this shawl because it is so beautiful! 😍
I would love the pattern, where can I find it? Thanks
thanks! I need to write it up! I’ll do that and get it posted for you asap! 😊
