Knit & Knag goes to Sweden

On July 15, 2014, in Uncategorized, by Anna

A week ago, we set off on our great summer adventure. We’ll be traveling around Sweden for about a month.

After a long flight or two we ended up in Stockholm. It was a glorious summer day – 28 degrees and sunny. This picture is taken at almost 10 PM, and it’s still bright outside.

For the next month, I’ll be posting about my Swedish summer adventure on the Knit & Knag Facebook page, so come on over and join us there.

 

Mystic Ocean KAL

On July 8, 2014, in KAL, lace, Mystic Ocean, pattern, shawl, by Anna

Announcing the new Mystic KAL!

Imagine the vast Ocean – rolling waves, thundering waves, and masses of water. It can be violent or entirely calm and peaceful, intimidating dark gray or brilliant turquoise. You could find yourself sailing on the surface of the ocean, or plunging deep down into its never-ending depths.
Mystic Ocean is inspired by the waters that cover more than two thirds of our planet. It’s a crescent shaped shawl knit in an enticing fingering weight Gradient Set from Miss Babs.

MATERIALS
1 Gradient Set (Set of 5 Yummy 2-ply Toes) from Miss Babs in Aquarius or similar colourway.

KAL START DATE: Aug 14, 2014
Clues posted every Thursday for 5 consecutive weeks.

The KAL is available at a discount until the first clue is released. At that time the pattern price will increase to CAD $8.00.

SIGN UP TODAY
CDN $6.00 (KAL price will increase to regular pattern price upon the release of the first clue)

Come join us in the Knit & Knag Designs group on Ravelry for more KAL fun.

PS. I’m announcing this KAL a little earlier than usual to give knitters a chance to order the Gradient Set from Miss Babs (if you so desire).

 

Vittran

On July 7, 2014, in lace, pattern, shawl, Vittran, by Anna

Vittran is a creature in Scandinavian Folklore. She looks like, dresses and lives like a human, and takes care of cows and goats. She is usually invisible, but sometimes humans can catch a glimpse of her. If you help her, you will likely get some kind of reward, but if you cross her, terrible things happen.

The Vittran shawl is a top-down crescent shawl knit in seductive Serenity Glitter Sock. It can be ordered as part of a kit from Zen Yarn Garden.

The pattern is also available as a PDF download for CAD $6.00
