Привет всем в новом году!
Мне очень жаль, что блог обновляется нечасто, т.к. в основном вся моя активность перенеслась в Instagram. 
Буду стараться обновлять блог регулярно.

Этот год начинается для меня с публикации нового дизайна - Wild Tulips shawl (Дикие тюльпаны).
Шаль классической треугольной формы с ажурным узором, напоминающим бутоны тюльпанов.
Я связала 2 шали-образца для этого дизайна.
1) Teal tulips - из тонкого льна такого сложного зелено-голубого цвета, который вышлядит по разному взависимости от освещения.
2)  Burgundy Tulips - из альпаки с щелком, нежной и невесомой цвета вина (очень похож на цвет marsala - цвет 2015 года по Pantone) 
Эта шаль отправилась в мой магазин на Etsy
