Time to Relax, Enjoy...and have a very Knitty Christmas!




 So yes, yes YES! ...It's all done, all Christmas Knits completed, and well before my deadline of 22nd of December to avoid knitting til the last minute



(Looked a bit like a Horror movie for a while there, lots of this kind of thing...)




But now the lovely feeling of knowing they're all ready and will bring happiness on the day, every stitch knitted with love...

And then of course I had to give myself the reward of a cozy knit on my cozy neighborhood pullover by Joji locatelli that's been pushed aside for Christmas knits...



Also speaking, the light at the end of the Christmas knitting tunnel is that, rather late to the party, I have put together four kits for myself, which include a shawl pattern, required yarn, coordinating project bag and stitch markers. They are all Joji Shawls, 3 Color Cashmere shawl, Jodi, Party on my needles, and Pure Joy... So I will be having myself a very Joji Christmas indeed...

Jodi by Joji Locatelli

Party on my Needles by Joji Locatelli
Pure Joy by Joji Locatelli
Only thing is, which one to cast on first ... 

Now that's a pressure I don't mind dealing with  😊

Happy Knitting!

(And Happy Festivities!)

I love how you can draw with yarn!

  I am totally still obsessed with my latest release, the Deco Decadence Shawl ! What I loved about the process of creating this shawl was the absolute engagement in the images and the yarn and the shapes. They started as simply, images, symbols, motifs, and the lines and holes that allow them to take form. And you can take some needles and some yarn and you can work your fingers/needles/yarn and really develop those lines and holes from something rather flat and limited in your mind to some alive and vital. It's a real and tangible way of drawing that brings such a sense of self achievement- that you can feel time and time again, everytime you see the image move as you do, the sway of the folds making 'waves' of fluidity and flow out of those lines, and the light bringing shards of life through the holes to illuminate their picture... I went with shades that had depth, richness and an element almost of a metallic flowing river to them but still a subtlety to them, shades...

My latest release 'Journey Shawl', is now available!

Image
  My latest release ' Journey Shawl ' , is now available in my Ravelry store ' Bex Knitty Design ' and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com! This shawl is a comforting, mediative & restful combination of squishy garter stitch,  bright stripes in varying widths, and graphic patterning.  Just pick some yarns in shades you love and enjoy the squishy stripy yarny journey until you end up with a large, squishy, bold, wraparound of a shawl. This shawl is started with just 3 stitches and uses regular increasing at the end of each (RS) row to form a large asymmetrical triangle to be bound off once you have reached a certain number of stitches. As usual with my releases, it will be FREE for the first day or so, which means until end of day (CET - Central European Time) on the 25th February 2023 and then with 25% off until end of day (CET - Central European Time) on the 3rd March 2023 to celebrate the launch! Ravelry: No coupon code needed, price will change on checkout. Offer pric...
