Project - Dreamweaver Shawl
What's the Buzz About?
Hey there, fellow fiber enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the world of knitting and taking a closer look at my current project, the Dreamweaver Shawl by the talented Libby Jonson, also known as Truly Myrtle. Trust me, this knit is the bee's knees!
Texture Galore!
Let me tell you, this shawl is a texture lover's dream come true. With its intricate stitch patterns and delightful squishiness, it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud of cozy goodness. It's the kind of knit that makes you want to snuggle up with a cup of tea and never leave your knitting nook.
Unwind Fibrecraft Retreat: Here I Come!
Now, you might be wondering, "Why is this shawl so special?" Well, my friends, it's because this beauty will be accompanying me on my upcoming adventure to the Unwind Fibrecraft Retreat in NZ in March 2024. Talk about knitting in style!
Colorful Mini Skeins
One of the things that drew me to the Dreamweaver Shawl is the opportunity to play with colors. This pattern calls for 14 x 20g skeins, and I've decided to embrace the element of surprise by using them straight from my knitting bag. No planning, just pure spontaneity!
These mini skeins are from the 2022 Yarn Advent by Natural Fibre Arts, and let me tell you, they are a feast for the eyes. Each one is bursting with vibrant hues and subtle gradients, adding an extra layer of whimsy to this already magical project.
Knitting with Abandon
Now, here's a little secret: it seems I have a tendency to knit a bit more generously than Libby herself. As I worked on the Dreamweaver Shawl, I couldn't resist adding 2 extra mini skeins from my stash. After all, who can resist the siren call of more yarn?
But hey, knitting is all about making it your own, right? So, I'm embracing my inner rebel and letting my creativity run wild. Who knows, maybe my version of the Dreamweaver Shawl will become a trendsetter in the knitting world!
If you're itching to cast on your own Dreamweaver Shawl, I highly recommend giving it a go. Libby's pattern is a joy to follow, and the end result is simply stunning.
So grab your needles, raid your stash, and let's embark on this knitting adventure together. The Dreamweaver Shawl awaits, ready to weave its magic into your life. Happy knitting!
