Not too long ago, Krista from Skinny Hooker Creations asked me if I could make a sample shawl using her yarns, for her to take to markets. Obviously, I said yes!
Krista’s yarns are beautiful. Of all the dyers I know, I can gladly say she’s one of my favourites – everything she puts out is so fantastic. If you like bright, beautiful colours and perfect speckles, you’re going to love her stuff! She also has really funny stitch markers and some beautiful patterns as well.
The shawl she wanted was Katie’s Shawl by Cozy Up Knits, done in two colours: Punk Rock Diva and Purple Bubblegum
YOU GUYS.
Look at how this turned out!
(And of course there’s my three year old photo-bombing haha!)
This shawl has such beautiful details – the eyeball stitch, the varying stripes, and (probably my favourite parts) the i-cord and slip stitch edges!
The colour possibilities on this are endless, so I can definitely see myself making another one in the future. I love it! It was apparently well-loved at the fibre show Krista went to this weekend as well, which makes me so happy!
How great are these colours? I maaaaaay be planning to make a little something for myself in Purple Bubblegum, and I’m also currently working on an incredible pair of socks using some more Skinny Hooker yarn in similar colours! I’m a little bit obsessed.
