Colour Fantasy Shawl

Hello fellow knitters!

I would like to wish you Merry Xmas and Happy New Year 2018!!!

Today I also would like to share my last knitted design in 2017.
Please welcome my Colour Fantasy Shawl which I knitted for myself.

This shawl is very easy to knit and great way to utilise leftover yarns every knitter has in their stash. I combined just 5 colours but I think the quantity of colours can be much bigger.
The shawl is very pretty and warm. It is knitted with worsted wool yarn Cascade 220.
The knitting pattern for the Colour Fantasy Shawl is available from my pattern stores:

Diamond Dust Coat

Last couple of months I had been busy working on my new coat design for my older daughter. So today I’m happy to share my Diamond Dust Coat.



The coat is knitted with Aran weight yarn on 5 mm knitting needles. The design of the coat is pretty and simple. It has close fitting on the waist, long sleeves and small collar. The coat is decorated with wooden buttons.



The sleeves and side panels of front and back are knitted with moss stitch. The centre of back is knitted with diamond cable, the front parts are knitted with the matching “zig-zag” cables, and as a finishing touch all cables are decorated with bobbles.



For this coat I used Mary Maxim Woodlands yarn in pretty shade Stardust.

The knitting pattern for the Diamond Dust Coat is available from my pattern stores:
