This shrug pattern is called Curtsy. It reminds me of a dancer who dances and flows and then bows or curtsies for a finale! This shrug is knitted using Sugar Fluff yarn from Expression Fiber Arts. Sugar Fluff is not carried year around. To substitute another yarn, get a fuzzy sport weight yarn to use. There is also a collar on this shrug. The design is made with 3 different colors and they gradient to the next color. All 3 colors are held together for the collar. The shrug is a quick knit of stockinette stitch that makes a soft roll at the end of the sleeve. Bracelets are good with this design. I love a design when I can wear bracelets....oh well...I love bracelets!
Fun...fun....beginner knitting....enjoy!!

Say "hi" to Millefiori! This gradient sweater is the sister to Malvarosa. This sweater is beautiful with all the colors merging into each other and changing to another. I think this is so cute on Chandi at Expression Fiber Arts.
Dewy DK is the yarn recommended for this sweater but any DK would do. The pattern has some short row work to shape the shoulders. The sweater is knitted from the neck down to the waist. The bishop/puffed sleeves complete the look. I love this sweater! Make yourself one and enjoy wearing it!!! This is the pattern named Bleuet. I named this design with the French word for blueberries...Bleuet. I used a 2 different blues, a green, and a gray shade of yarn in this design. The reason I used this name was basically one morning I was adding blueberries to our cereal at breakfast. It dawned on me that the shades of blue on these blueberries was the same as the two colors of blue I was knitting with. Blueberries have a gray look to them...thus the gray yarn. Finally, all berries have green on the plants...the green shade. The yarn I used was Mirage Sport from Expression Fiber Arts. I held the yarn with 2 strands. These 2 strands allowed the colors to change and make 8 different stripes of color. I then added a picot edge and a ribbed collar. It can be worn as a shawl or close the opening and it becomes a poncho.
This design is fun to knit as you watch the colors change in the stripes. Enjoy! |
