My Woven Cowl has been released!

 


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




This cowl is packed with texture and interest so there’s hardly a dull moment as you create a squishy cosy fabric utilizing both the Right and Wrong side produced with bands of Linen stitch, as well as twisted stitches, bobbles, cables and garter stripes, creating an almost olden world woven look, from another era but also timeless in its snuggly promise. It is a fairly close-fitting cowl that you knit as a single layer for something a bit lighter or a double layer version, offering a more substantial cosy option. A provisional cast on is used at the start for that version and then opened once all the patterning part is worked leaving only stockinette fabric to be worked up to match the length of the patterned half you have already worked, to be joined by using a 3rd needle like a kind of halfway 3 needle bind off. Both versions are then finished off with a picot bind off edging.

As usual with my releases, it will be FREE for the first day or so, which means until end of day (CEST) on the 15th October 2022 and then with 25% off until end of day (CEST) on the 21st October 2022 to celebrate the launch!

My Deco Decadence Shawl has been released!

Image
  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.
