#unified gradient

Looking back on some of the good from 2025, I did release three patterns this year. First was Don't Ewe Want Me in LolaBean Yarn Co Dream Bean. Next was the Trajectory Shawl in Fiber Optic Yarns Kashmir. And finally, I released the Drift Cowl in 29 Bridges Studio Non-Superwash Sock and Suri Silk.

I am about to close the first of the triangles, and I am realizing that I will have to either change the charts somehow or add a chart for a transition. Strangely, this only affects the written instructions in that the written instructions need to state things in the same way that the charts display them for those that go back and forth between charts and written instructions. Some people are visual learners, some learn from the reading, and for others, it's a combination of the two.

The Trajectory Shawl is now live! To celebrate its release, there is a 20% discount off the pattern price on both Ravelry and Payhip.

In addition, $3.50 of every pattern sale for the month of May will go to the Trevor Project.

The Trajectory Shawl is a two-color brioche shawl using one skein of Fiber Optic Yarns' Unified Gradient Kashmir and one skein of one of the terminal colors from the gradient. The pattern is shown here in Vincent and Midnight (first photo) and Hudson and Chocolate Cherry (second photo).

Thank you, Stuart from the Woolpatch, for giving a shout out to Trajectory, coming May 1st, in time for the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival! Half of the sales for the month of May will be going to the Trevor Project.

So this is the inspiration for the Trajectory Shawl: a shooting star. Specifically, the trail behind the star, at least in cartoon versions, and how where it has been can show where it is going. Thus Trajectory.

Thank you to all of those who have purchased the Trajectory Shawl pattern. $3.50 from each pattern sale for the month of May will be going to the Trevor Project.
