Birds on My Shoulders Shawl.




I can finally show off my Birds on My Shoulders shawl. I enjoyed creating charts and knitting the shawl. It's a bold eye-catching pattern. Would you be brave enough to wear this type of shawl?
Below are some shawls made in mystery knit-a-long.

I love this version, made by toomkuningas. She used self-striping sock yarn. What a great result!

Bird Tribe Cowl.


I have a new pattern to share today, the Bird Tribe cowl. I'm quite excited about the pattern. At first I designed and knitted the Birds on My Shoulders shawl. The shawl pattern isn't available yet but it will be in two weeks time. The shawl has similar bird on it's point. I loved the little bird so much and wanted to use the motif again. I modified the bird a bit and decided to knit a cowl. Knitting the sample I thought about the target, who would wear this type of cowl? It's a graphic design, inspired by Peruvian textiles. Somehow it associates with tattoos for me. What do you think? I thought maybe it could be worn by young men too. Still it surprised me when I asked my stepsons to model the cowl for me and they agreed, one of them even asked can he have the cowl. Why not? I'm happy with the result!

The pattern is available on Ravelry, with -20% discount until Saturday, November 9th, use coupon code Birds at check out.


Täna nägi ilmavalgust mu uus muster, Bird Tribe kaelus. Lindude teema mu disainides sai alguse sallist, mis polegi veel avaldatud. Salli tipus on väike lind, mis meeldis mulle väga. Tahtsin seda motiivi veel kasutada. Tegin väheke muudatusi, lisasin motiive, ja nii valmis kaeluse muster. Kaelust kududes mõtlesin, kes võiks seda kanda, kellele see stiil võiks meeldida? Mustri algidee on saadud Peruu tekstiilidelt. Millegipärast meenutab see mulle tätoveeringuid. Mis te arvate? Minu üllatus oli suur, kui palusin poistel olla modelliks ja üks neist küsis, kas ta võiks kaeluse endale saada. Miks ka mitte! Sobib ju hästi noormehele! Mul ainult rõõm sellest.

Muster on saadaval Ravelrys, ja kuni 9. nov. hilisööni on hind 20% odavam koodiga Birds.
