Karakorum

This generously sized crescent shaped shawl is worked top down in shifting colors with optional beading. The textured stitches gradually become lacier as the shawl progresses outwards, representing approaching mountain ranges that gradually draw near on the long journey along the Silk Road.
Except for a few rows at the border and the double yarnovers in the first lace pattern, most of the shawl is patterned on right side rows only, allowing for resting rows on the wrong side.

Silk Road

Through deserts dry and mountains high
past snow and ice and deep blue skies.
From lands of sunrise way afar
We make our way to reach Kashgar.

From far we come and far we walk
from dawn each day till it gets dark.
Dark loom the mountains, drawing near
through foothills steep, valleys appear
and glaciers glint in fading light
snow capped peaks come into sight.

Khyber Pass

Khyber Pass is a striking top down crescent shaped shawl with lace sections that alternate with a garter and eyelet pattern.
The garter ridges add warmth and substance for your trip over the high mountains and the lace, inspired by snowcapped summits and frost, adds an element of lightness.
All wrong side rows are rest rows, making for a relaxing yet satisfying knit.

Silk Road

on paths that take us further west,
‘cross passes high, ere we may rest.

Riversong

When storm clouds roll towards the shore

up on the rocks, with shore in sight,
my waves are crowned in caps of white!

Take campfire warmth with you wherever you go with this easy to make cowl.
Cowl can be worn wrapped twice or simply folded and tucked in. The look of embers as well as the texture is achieved through a simple drop stitch pattern which makes it possible to get dramatic results with little effort, as you are using only one color per round!

Als die Messung von Position und Längengraden in der Schifffahrt
noch vom Nachthimmel beherrscht wurde, brauchte man
Geräte wie einen Azimut Kompass um auf Kurs zu bleiben.
Wenn du dich in die strahlenförmigen Linien dieses Tuches
einschmiegst und zum Nachthimmel hochschaust, stell dir vor,
wie wagemutig und abenteuerlich eine Seereise war, mit den
Sternen als einzigen Wegweiser!

Lorsque la navigation sur les océans alors inexplorés dépendait du ciel de la nuit, les navigateurs se fiaient aux étoiles et à leur compas pour mener à bien leur voyage.
Lorsque vous vous envelopperez dans les rayons de ce châle généreux pour contempler le ciel nocturne, pensez à l’audace qu’il leur fallait, pour traverser ces immensités avec le compas pour seul guide.

This asymmetrical shawl begins at the shore and slowly
rows out to deep sea, starting with a cool blue at the tip and
gradually increasing until the knitting has left the sunny shallows
far behind and is adrift in open ocean. As pleasant and
rhythmic a knit as waves on a beach, this shawl is named for
a line in The Tempest. that at once tells about the untamed
yet gentle waves.

[/x_text][x_line][x_text]

Asymmetrisches Dreieckstuch wird in Reihen von der rechten Spitze
zur linken Kante gestrickt, und führt vom seichten Strand langsam ins
tiefe Meer hinaus. Angefangen mit kühlem Blau an der Spitze, mit
gemächlichen Zunahmen bis das Stricken die sonnigen Ufer weit hintersich
lässt und im offenene Ocean auf tiefen Wellen dahin treibt.
Ein angenehmes und rhytmisches Tuch, dessen Namen von einer Zeile
aus Shakespeares ‘The Tempest’ stammt, ein Stück das zugleich von
den sanften, jedoch unzähmbaren Wellen erzählt.

[/x_text][x_text]

Ce châle asymétrique au point mousse commence sur la plage et
se fond lentement dans les profondeurs de l’océan.
La pointe d’un bleu tendre s’élargit et rejoint peu à peu l’horizon
sombre où le soleil a plongé dans la mer.
Tricoter ce châle fait penser au rythme du ressac des vagues sur la
plage.
Son nom vient d’un vers de La tempête de William Shakespeare.

A moonlit haze shrouds over meadows as fog rises from the warmer water in the cooler autumn nights and silver dew forms on everything. The water splashing and sparkling on rocks and the silent ripples and water-movements that are left behind by unseen tail flicks of swimming creatures hidden under the still surface of the water all found their way into this shawl.
Worked from the top down with optional beading, this shawl celebrates water in its myriad of forms:
Ripples, spray, mist, fog and sparkling dew in the moonlight.

I find my way through rocks and stones,
streamlines form where fish do roam.
Bleak rocky shore changes to brush,
fish and frog do like the lush
undergrowth, to hide and thwart
kingfisher’s eyes are very sharp.

And fog ebbs into meadows thick
as cooler nights are nearing quick.
From mountain stream down to the sea,
mist and dew will follow me.

The stitches roll through this rich cable pattern like the sun
peeking from behind clouds on a rough and choppy day on
the water. Worked in a nice chunky yarn that lets the cables
pop to the surface, this hat is a fun way to play with texture
and stitches.

Nymphea

 

This top down shawl is named after the wild waterlilies, though you may only see a few lilypads and flowers on the surface, the plant underneath the water is much larger with leaves on long underwater stems tangling like vines and buds growing upwards.
Delicate lace patterns intersect and converge, depicting the various parts of the lovely water lily: buds, flowers, stems and lilypads.

Riversong

When beaver dams invite to slow,
I spread out wide and deep I grow.
Lingering here I see a fawn,
a silent heron, looking on.

Wild roses dot the banks I see,
showering petals onto me,
and waterlily pink in bloom,
I see in ponds I pass in June!
