Name that scarf pattern....yarn, pattern & shawl pin Giveaway for March/April 2017

Name this scarf-Winner will receive the yarns, printed pattern & a lovely Silver shawl pin ! 

Here is another picture update. You can see the silver tone shawl pin with a big black bead !

A combination of stitches & natural organic Shetland wool ♥

Something I'm working on, nowhere near finished as i want it to be at least 60'' inches long so please check back to see the finished scarf as it will help in naming the pattern design. (Read on for more info)


I just love working with Natural wool. There is just something about it that makes me feel content, i would even say happy ! 


The nameless scarf/shawl consists of a stepped edge along the bottom in moss stitch, the top edge is straight with moss stitch, garter stitch, eyelets, cables, tubes, box stitch, stocking stitch....a mash up of textures that show up brilliantly in real wool. The earthy colours i'm using are white, fawn & Musket & all 100% Natural to the awesome coloured Shetland sheep.

And as of today-April 22nd....this all i have done....shameful ! Had so many qiviut sweater orders (and 95 purebred Shetland lambs born to date) there was very little time to work on this design, but i will press on & add more stitch textures till the end of the month.

I will be attending the Toronto knitters Frolic on the 29th April & will have the scarf/shawl with me if you want to stop by the booth !

    It reminds me of a "Monadh" with all its different textures and earthy colours.

    It looks like it sprung organically from your purely creative mind. I would name it, "Purely Organic." ;)

    Maybe Stone Beach or Pebble Beach, that's what the colours and textures remind me of most. Or Tidelines or Low Tide? Its also a bit like the layers of gravel and sand you get alternating on some shorelines.

    Skipping Stones! This beautiful shawl reminds me of the waves (and the stones at the bottom of a clear lake) that occur while partaking in one of my fave summer activities :)

    How about naming this shawl after one of the Shetland beaches? After all, the shawl is knit out of Shetland yarn, and I can’t get over how beachy it looks. I was thinking “Levenwick Beach,” “Norwick,” or “Skaw Beach.” FYI, If you google “Skaw Beach,” there’s actually a photo that looks remarkably like your shawl… the shape, pebbles, everything :)

    Or how about “Mainland,” named after the main Shetland island?

    I think I would name this shawl Shetland Ripple. Its texture does remind me of water on a beach at low tide and we've got to keep the Scottish name in there somewhere, haven't we?

    I want to name this scarf "Shetland strong". The inspiration comes from the Islanders and way of life which has endured through the centuries.

    "The Elders" This pattern reminds me of many generations Grandmother's wisdom within each of their own unique stitch/pattern so that it may be learned, honored and passed down to the younger generations. It's kind of like a coat of arms with yarn and stitches:)

Messy Bun hat pattern-Giveaway for January/february 2017

Here we are in the middle of January.....time is getting away from me again ! you must have seen these 'messy bun hats' doing the rounds on the internet. I already sold 2 & i don't even have the pattern down on paper, Lucky for me, my customer is willing to wait so i thought it would be perfect timing to knit these over January & February. I really like the look of the crochet hat above(not my image) i found it on Google !  The stitch & texture looks gorgeous. I don't do crochet so I will try to find a similar knit stitch pattern from my stitch bible & include the pattern here. The yarn-pure Shetland wool is all Natural Emsket & Black. $7.00 Canadian per 50 gram skein from:  www.absoluteshetland.websiteanimal.com I think 2 skeins will do it for each hat as the top of the hat has very little decrease shaping. I'm planning on knitting it with 2 yarns together so the hat is thick n warm. My customer chose these colours, i wo...
