Powder pink

New shawl is the first try to knit thin linen yarn.
Not easy to knit but result is fabulous!
It drapes well and feels deliciously light and soft but little crisp as real linen fabric (become softer in use).
knit lace shawl
 It is a modified version of my old pattern Cherry Garden.
No nupps, no side edges.

 Size: 67 1/4” x 31 3/4” (171 x 81 cm)
Yarn: 100 g = 656 yds / 600 m of LitYarn 100% Linen

The Cat in the .... Scarf

The cats' gang met new member Cat in the Hat Scarf :)))
But this Cat also moved as some of the gang members.
He lives with my friend Ksenia in Saint-Petersburg, Russia  now.
 Кошачья банда встретила нового товарища Кота в Шарфе :)))
Но, как и некоторые другие участники банды, он переехал. Теперь он живет у моей подруги Ксении в Санкт-Петербурге.

Materials used: fleece, felt, cotton thread, iron-on adhesive interfacing, wool hand knitted scarf :)
Испольуемые материалы: флис, фетр, хлопковая нить (вышивка), клеевой двусторонний флизелин (?), шерстяной шарф ручной вязки.


Кошачий "тыл" для интересующихся :) 

Inspirational picture :)
