In today’s episode of Taking Back Friday, I’m talking about the new Breathe & Hope shawl pattern designed by Casapinka. We’ll be brainstorming some different colour options for knitting up this lovely shawl!
Option A is a Party of Five in Gemstone with a skein of test dyed yarn. Option B is two gradient Sock Blanks. And finally, Option C includes these yarn combos that we’ve created.
IN THIS EPISODE
- what I’m wearing: Throwback Cardigan designed by Andrea Mowry of Drea Renee Knits. I knit my version in SweetGeorgia Superwash Worsted (Trinket, Watershed, Sea Grass, Afternoon Nap colourways… you can find the colour set “Wonder Years” here). I knit size 2 and used every single inch of 4 skeins of main colour. For this sweater, I also used the Chiaogoo Bamboo SPIN knitting needles.
- what I’m knitting: Chauncey designed by Isabell Kraemer — I’m knitting this in SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock in Marine + a Party of Five mini-skein set in Gemstone.
