Foliana is ready, and the test is open. This is always my favorite moment: watching a design come to life on many different needles, seeing how each version takes shape, and sharing the process together. Find all the details following this link: www.yarnpond.com/pattern_test...

Fillide is now available 🌸  In the myth that inspired this shawl, a Greek princess died of grief, waiting for her husband to return home. The goddess Athena transformed her into an almond tree.

After washing and blocking, this shawl surprised me again: the fabric opened up into something I hadn’t fully anticipated. Light, airy, and almost weightless - as if it could take flight. The colours stayed crisp, the stitches clear, but the whole shawl felt transformed. #knitting #shawlknitting

Finding the right way to end a project can be surprisingly tricky. I tested several options for this bind-off, and none of them felt quite right until this one. What do you think? Is it regal enough?👑 🧶 #shawlknitting #knitting

I thought I was being efficient: reuse the same stitches, keep it simple.🧶 Turns out the shawl had other plans.  This border makes it bold, layered, almost regal, don't you agree?✨ #knitting #shawlknitting

There’s something very satisfying about seeing the stitch pattern take shape, especially when texture and color start working together like this. I’ve been experimenting with dip stitches and a lace motif over Echo garter, and it’s finally behaving the way I hoped it would.  #knitting #shawlknitting

I restarted this shawl for the third time, but I think that now I nailed it! The shape looks good and I love how neater the center stitch looks and how the zigzags seamlessly merge into it. I modified also the little loops at the top of the zigzags to make them bigger and cleaner. Let's go! 🧶

Ok, last week I started this shawl for the second time and I was really surprised to see that I achieved a triangular shaped shawl with half the increases I'd normally used. So I continued happily knitting the shawl and didn't think to check whether everything was going fine. 🧶 #shawlknitting

This looks much better! It seems that I achieved a triangular shape with half the increases I would normally have: just 4 every 4 rows. That's so strange! 🧶 Anyway, I'll continue and see what happens. Wish me good luck!🤞 #knitting #shawlknitting

Not a great time for my knitting 🧶 lately...  Anyway, after a bit of swatching, planning and charting I started working on my new shawl. But... I wanted a triangular shawl! I followed the usual "recipe" with lateral and central increases, why it looks so strange?

Monochromatic isn’t exactly my style. I love bold contrasts and vibrant combinations, but every now and then, I find myself creating single-color designs.🧶 Interestingly, this tends to happen mostly with warm-weather projects. #knitting #shawlknitting #laceknitting

This is a piece I started some time ago and then abandoned. I didn't like how it looks, found it too busy and confused, so I decided to let it go.🧶 Today I took some pictures to show it for this prompt and... I changed my mind! #knitting #shawlknitting

#fiberuarychallenge I love textures! My passion is finding new and interesting ways to combine textures with color, such as cables & mosaic, marling & dip stitches, twisted stitches with "echo knitting" etc. So many possibilities! #knitting 🧶

I want this piece to be a half-annular shawl worked sideways. To achieve this shape I have to carefully balance short rows and full rows.  🧶 #knitting #shawlknitting #mosaicknitting

This is what I have been playing with in the last few days🧶. I love the combination of the square, geometric shapes of mosaic with the short row curves. Looks fresh and unusual to me. Not sure how this combination will work in a shawl though.. what do you think? . #knitting #shawlknitting
