I’m really loving these early morning, sunlit shots of my #findyourfadeshawl 🌅 I’m almost at the second lace panel, and I’m so excited to get to my third color change. I decided to add a fifth color, because yardage wise There wouldn’t have been enough of some colors to last me through each color change in the pattern. Glad I took some time to figure out the math, and even more glad I was able to find the perfect fifth shawl color at my LYS @blacksheepyarnshop This is going to be such a dramatic statement shawl! • • • #polarpurls #findyourfadefriday #knitshawl #knitwrap #knitstagram #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #shawlknitting #handdyedyarn #indiedyer #supportlocalbusiness #supporthandmade #handmadeisbetter #slowknitting

Got some fabulous happy mail from @oroshandmade earlier this week - aren’t these pom-poms great?! Planning on making a scarf with a pom on each end, and I can’t wait to start working on it! Only one problem: I can’t decide if the scarf should be black or white (or maybe a combo of both)!Which do you prefer?

This triangle wrap is called the Anna. Simple and practical like the Lee, but with a little more flair from the large tassel at the bottom! Which do you prefer?

A close-up of the heathered gray moss infinity scarf I worked on this weekend! Moss stitch is so elegant and intricate, but so simple to make! If you are new to knitting and want to try something different, I definitely recommend this stitch.

Anybody else feeling this heatwave? It’s supposed to be 90 degrees by me!! I’m using it as an excuse to swatch for a fun new idea I had this morning.

Last year, one of my favorite things to make were these chunky triangle wraps. They are such a quick and satisfying knit! I’m wondering if I should bring them back for my fall/winter line this year. What do you think? Will wraps still be in this fall? • • • #polarpurls #knitscarf #knitwrap #annatrianglewrap #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #crochetlife #knittinglife #knitaddict #yarnlife #lionbrand
