Antish Shawl has been released!

 


Today sees the release of the 'Antish Shawl', available in my Ravelry store 'Bex Knitty Design' and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com!


This is a very simple crescent shaped shawl with lots of relaxing garter and stockinette stripes, alternating in both colour and texture to keep the knitter’s interest to see how the different combos come out. There are also panels of lace and twisted stitches to make it a striking yet delicate soft pretty piece. I used a slightly plumper than usual fingering weight yarn in a wool / cashmere blend for that soft floofy drape in delicate neutral shades for a gentle palette, but any soft wool based / blend yarn of your choice should work fine. You can play with yarn weights to make it even more delicate or cosy, just remember different gauge can change the required yarn amounts and finished measurements.

As usual with my releases, it will be FREE for the first day or so, which means until end of day (CEST) on the 28th October 2021 and then with 25% off until end of day (CEST) on the 5th November 2021 to celebrate the launch!

  My latest release ' Deco Decadence Shawl ' , is now available in my Ravelry store ' Bex Knitty Design ', on  Payhip  and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com! Deco Decadence Shawl    Six canvas like panels, featuring abundant lace and twists to depict Art Deco motifs of line and symmetry in rich decadence! This Hexagonally shaped cape-styel shawl is made up of six panels increasing steadily in width by way of yarnovers to form a body enfolding piece with waterfall-like drape. I used 6 different colourways to create the transitioning palette for the sample of this shawl and  noted at which points I made my changes in the   Notes  section but please feel free to bring an element of 'rule breaking' to your palette which provides a  perfect  opportunity in this piece for a nod to a time in fashion  & design of breaking established norms in freedom  &  embracing expression - you can go with as many or as little  shades as you feel like, and change colours as

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 t

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.
