A belated day 8 #marchmeetthemaker post and my second FO for our Welcoming Spring MAL! The prompt is "Love to make" and shawls are definitely one of the things I love to make and dye yarn for. Many thanks to my very patient Wife @rachelillustrates for battling the wind and my camera shy self to help me get these FO photos of my 800 yard Lights Of Times Square shawl. This beautiful design was created by @mesha_knits to showcase our VKL colorway but I couldn't resist making a two skein version in Lleap Full "Frog Princess" to bring a little Spring energy my way. This pattern is so easy to memorize, is knit in two parts and features a new to me join that is super fast and easy! I'm already planning a 400 yard size one using one of our Sock Twin sets and adding some beads for extra fun. 😊 #LladyLlama #LLFC #meshaknits #LLMKWELCOMINGSPRINGMAL #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #marchmeetthemaker2020 #ravelry #knittersofravelry #shawlknittersofinstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #knitlife #nevernotknitting #knitknitknit Image Description: A photo collage with a very camera shy Kelli modeling their finished Lights Of Time Square shawl against a large tree in their yard. The photos show a few options for styling the shawl including with and without a shawl pin. The shawl is knit in two triangles and grafted together to form a parallelogram. One gradient skein was used for each half with the colorway transitioning from a medium pink to undyed to a medium cool green. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hqgHUp0r3/?igshid=11hgjgyo6p1j9

FO photos of my Winter's Whisper shawl. Amazing pattern by @mesha_knits and yarn used was my Lleaf Full in the colorway "Crone" with added size 6 seed beads. If you are attending Vogue Knitting LIVE NYC next week come see it in person! We are in the 5th floor ballroom booth #406/408 this year. I am super excited to share that Mesha herself will be hanging out in our booth with a selection of her patterns, including this one! She is one of my very dearest friends, a wonderful Designer, and I am so grateful she is winging her way from the West Coast to hang out with us for the weekend. ❤️ In the meantime Llady Llama headquarters is a flurry of show prep activity and I hear the dye table calling me back. 🦙 #vklive #vogueknittinglive #LladyLlama #LLFC #meshaknits #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #shawlknittersofinstagram #handknitshawl #handknit #knittersofravelry #laceknitting #laceshawl #cableknitting #beadedlace Image Description: Both slides show photo collages.

My Joy Of The Sea shawl by @meshamcmullen is complete and I could not be happier with how it turned out! Swipe to the last photo to see my inspiration image for this manta ray/ocean themed shawl (photo credit for manta ray image: Mary O'Malley) and special thanks to Rach for helping me take the FO photos. ❤️ #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #gradientyarn #gradientshawl #hiyahiya_freeandfunkal #hpkchcowl #hpkchc #knitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #handknitshawl #handknit #oceanlove #knitlace #laceknitting #laceshawl #joyoftheseashawlhhkal #joyoftheseashawl #meshaknits #ravelry #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knit #knitlife #FO [Image Description: Slide 1 is a photo of me standing with my back to the camera in front of a tree with a garden and more trees in the background. I am holding my finished 1/2 pi shawl out across my back. The body of the shawl is a white to blue black gradient and the border is a white to turquoise black gradient. The lace motifs which make up the shawl are all ocean themed. Slides 2-4 show the shawl laid out flat on the grass from different angles. The final slide is a photograph by Mary O'Malley of a manta ray. It is shot from underneath and the manta ray is set against a background of the sun shining down through the ocean.] https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jfHlip7Yf/?igshid=1t04vky8r1ziy

Finished Clue 1 of my Joy of the Sea Shawl by @meshamcmullen for the Hiya Hiya Free & Fun KAL! The lace motifs are intuitive and fun on this half pi shawl and I'm a sucker for anything ocean inspired! I created 2 new colorways for my version. This first one is "Manta" and is inspired by my very favorite ocean creature (well, maybe tied with mermaids 🧜🏻‍♀️). Check out the link in Mesha's profile to join the KAL on Ravelry. The pattern is free as long as you finish your project by August 31st! 🐳🐙🏖️ #lladyllama #LLFC #indiedyer #handdyedyarn #meshaknits #joyoftheseashawl #hiyahiya #knitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #laceknitting #laceshawl #gradientyarn #ravelry #instaknit #onmyneedles #KAL #knit #knitallthethings #knitalong #summerknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMPyylJ0Tx/?igshid=1c8lsnnwyc614
