#Handmade - Shawlette Wellenreiter

Stitch pattern from ’1500 patterns’ - I am sure there’s already a shawlette out there, designed like this.
I just had this in my head & it needed to come out :-)

 Should I add some buttons? Should I write a pattern?

#Handmade - The Blue Hole Bandana

Finished a small shawl / Bandana yesterday.
Made of Bamboo yarn - love it :)

It will most likely go into the 'For Sale' stash though :-)

#Handmade - Boomslang Mini

Finished :-)

Free pattern here 

Approx. 180st CO, in retrospect 150st would have been enough, which would have made the cowl wider. 
Oh well. 
I did a stretch of simply stockinette to make it a bit wider. 
It works, it’s cozy and it’s WARM :-) 
I love the yarn!

#Handmade - Mondbeere as sort of a shrug

Das Muster gibt es kostenlos > hier <

From Handmade

Statt Maschen lt. Anleitung habe ich zwischendurch Maschen bei den Geraden Reihen zugenommen und bei den Lochreihen die erste und letzte vor dem Rand: U, 1r gestrickt.

Statt einer Randm zwei und die kraus r stricken, sowie die letzte M jeweils li abh.

Ich hab’s als Dreiecktuch gemacht, eine Seite (unbeabsichtigt kuerzer und Anschlag 15M statt 10). Hierbei hab ich auf der linken Seite je 2 Maschen zusammengestrickt.

Mein erster Versuch mit Perlen. Haben fast gereicht ;-) 
Bin nach dem Versuch mit der Haekelnadel zu Naehnadel und Bindfaden gewechselt, das ging nach ein bisschen Uebung prima. 
Hier ist eine prima Anleitung dazu

Notes

Stitch patterns from 4 books, put together by me.
My first very own shawl ‘design’.
Loved knitting it and love that the receiver likes it :)

Started with a few st cast on (8 I think?).
I should have maybe knit/purled 2 rows before starting the pattern.

Started with a Diamond pattern (from E. Zimmermann’s ’Knitter’s Almanac’). Went free hand here, after the Pi shawl, I had it memorized ;-)

Always add a yo at the beginning (after the first st) & end of row (before the last st) and two in the middle (with 1st in between), so it gets it’s triangle shape.

After every pattern I added a row of k1, yo, k1,.. to make the shawl wider instead of all triangular.
(You could also leave out the YO at the sides and in the middle and make it half round)

The second pattern is what seems to be commonly known as ‘Peacock pattern’.
Mine is from the book ’A Creative Guide to Knitted Lace’ (I think they use a different name, have to check again).

Nr 3 was (I think) the pattern ‘Spitzenmuster (I)’ from the German version of 1500 patterns

Nr 4 is ‘Blattstreifen’ from the book ’Schoene Handarbeiten’

#Handmade - Pi Shawl by Elizabeth Zimmermann

From Handmade

The round shawl, or Pi shawl is a lovely beginner project.
You can leave the patterns, or add any you want.
I went by the ones in EZ's book.
The danger here is, if you mess up one stitch, the pattern's off.
I managed to do that a few times.
I learned a lot about the stitches though and can do a diamond lace out of my head now (almost) ;-)

Der Rund - oder Pi Schal ist ein toller Schal fuer 'Anfaenger'.
Man kann ihn einfach nur ohne Muster stricken oder mit einem Muster, das einem gefaellt.
Ich hab e die genommen, die EZ in Ihrem Buch vorschlaegt.
Die Gefahr liegt darin, dass, wenn man auch nur eine Masche daneben haut, das ganze Muster verrutscht.
Was ich einige Male geschafft habe.
Allerdings habe ich auch eine Menge gelernt und kann das Diamanten Lochmuster jetzt aus dem Kopf (fast) ;-)
