Rhiannon’s Wrap (upper left) and Rhiannon’s Cloak (lower left) were the results of a collaboration between @buffalowoolco and myself to create a “showstopping” Shawl for a Stevie Nicks Design Competition. I wanted to work with the Buffalo Wool Co. lace weight yarn Sexy. I wanted a dark night sky 🌌 purple/blue and Ron came through with the perfect colour! First the Cloak with its 20,000 beads and crystals ( it didn’t win) but some other crazy knitters did want to knit one. As it had not been knitted with a pattern in mind I needed to come up with an alternative So I created a smaller version (with only 7000 beads). This version was created with the same patterns and motifs, but was easier to write and is easier knit! The beads used in both were the 24k gold dipped delicas! The gleam of real gold is unmistakable! #letissierdesigns #buffalowoolco #buffalowoolcosexy #delicas #24k #gold #24kgold #24kgoldbeads #knitted #knitting #laceknitting #beadedlace #beadedlaceknitting #design #designer #designersofinstagram #rhiannonswrap #rhiannonscloak #designcompetion
