Getting witchier every day…

The shawl, I mean. Probably me too. I’m good with it. 🔮

This is a #BelovedGhostShawl modified to use a 24 mini fade. The fade is @thefibrefox.bsky.social Witching Hour countdown from 2024.

I’m always happy to brag on the yarn! But it’s not one yarn, it’s ten!

It’s a mini kit I made up with Baby Cat Yarns — ten fingering weight mini skeins. Then the fingering weight is held double and marled.

Brit’s brought it back to her shop for the Prairie Town release, if you’re interested

Only 2 days until the Prairie Town cowl gets let loose! If you’ve ever thought “hey, I wish I could sling a sunset around my neck” this one might be for you

Pattern and mini kit from Baby Cat Yarn both drop on October 1!

With the release of the Prairie Town cowl coming right up (10/1) you might be asking “but what if I’ve got a couple skeins of the same color?? Is it still cool?”

Yes, friends. It’s still very cool. This is the cowl modified for one color, with neck and hem ribbing.

Meet the Prairie Town cowl! Inspired by that kind of sunset you only ever get over a dry cornfield.

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is autumn, and my favorite autumnal knits have to be these babies - my Hythe cowl and hat! Tree trunks brioche motif, autumnal colors and reversibility? An essential bit of my fall wardrobe.

Eeee, it’s finished and the Minnesota return to summer has given me a chance to wear it out into the world!

I’ve been noodling on this lacy tee design for years now, i can’t quite believe it finally worked!

Scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits and there’s a clear choice. This is a scarf (not yet released, but still potentially coming) that I made with the cool half of the Baby Cat Yarn grunge palette.

The shawl celebration continues! My fade-iest fades! Both the Bloomfield and Beloved Ghost shawls are built for painterly fades, and I always feel so fancy.

The Beloved Ghost shawl, a winged pi shawl worked in single color brioche. It fades from a deep slate gray through a variegated gray and speckled cream. These yarns are from the Snug and Spun fiber company’s Tortured Poets Department collection

A Beloved Ghost shawl in progress. This one is using an advent calendar from The Fibre Fox, that goes from the softest pale pink through deeper pinks, violet and blue all the way to black (I’m not there yet though) The pattern is easily modified for use with countdown calendars, scraps, etc

A more monochromatic take on the Bloomfield Shawl, this one fades dark grey through lighter grays and blues. It’s Polka Dot Sheep’s iron horse silk-wool base

The original Bloomfield, a single-color brioche fade from blue to violet to green in a winged triangle shawl. Single-ply merino wool dyed by Forest Fiber Arts. I’m modeling it on the shore of Lake Superior under a rainbow

It’s shawl week for #ShowMeYourKnits and since I can’t pick a favorite, I’ll just share them out across the week!

Montrose was the second shawl I designed, but the first I reach for on a cold day. Maximum stripes and maximum squish.

Knitting vacation continues with this cowl design in progress. It’s good to get the knits a little fresh air, right?
