I have lots and lots of finished projects to show you (some from quite a while ago), but let’s talk first about the latest knitting pattern I published last week : Cookie Surprise.
When I went to Paris last January, I went, as usual, at L’OisiveThé and La Bien Aimée to say Hi and pet some beautiful yarns, such as CoopKnit Sock Yeah ! 🙂
Aimée offered me to create a shawl pattern with this exact yarn, with one goal : it had to be easy for knitters who want to begin lace knitting. I said Yes immediately (who can resist beautiful yarn ?), but told her it would be published before Fall, beacause I had other projects to finished first… And I went home with 4 lovely skeins in my bag (quite reasonnable, no ?)…
I barely got home that I already had an idea : triangular shawl, garter stitch, lace arrows… I swatched and did all the math, but I had to put aside for awhile to finish other things.
Summer, August and family vacation arrived. Expecting our 3rd baby, I knew I needed a small and easy project. This shawl idea was perfect : maths were done, explanations already scribbled on paper… I worked on it for 2 weeks, between 2 sleep in and 3 naps, between my bed and the deckchair. When our vacation was over, so was the shawl and I was really happy with it !
After some proper redaction and testing, it was ready to be published last week…
Cookie Surprise is a triangular shawl, mostly in garter stitch, with a bit of lace to make it fun and interesting to knit.Pictures were taken is september but it is also perfect now to curl up and cuddle yourself this winter…
Mine is gone to Paris and L’oisiveThé, so I need to knit another one (after some baby knitting)… Anyone fancying a little KAL ?
And if you want to knit it in Coopknit Sock Yeah !, please now that tere are yarn kits sold on L’OisiveThé website…
