That’s when the name came to me: Kryla - wings. in Ukrainian.
I already wrote the pattern and opened the test for it! If you're interested, please follow this link: www.yarnpond.com/pattern_test...
After washing and blocking, this shawl surprised me again: the fabric opened up into something I hadn’t fully anticipated. Light, airy, and almost weightless - as if it could take flight.
The colours stayed crisp, the stitches clear, but the whole shawl felt transformed.

It’s an unusual technique, combining i-cord and picots but it echoes the rest of the shawl beautifully.
Sometimes, the right match isn’t what you expect 😁
The beginning of a BO edge for a shawl
Finding the right way to end a project can be surprisingly tricky.
I tested several options for this bind-off, and none of them felt quite right until this one. What do you think? Is it regal enough?👑

I wish I could say I saw this coming, but really, I just followed the knitting. Sure it surprised me!
And I’m deeply grateful that this shawl, made for Ukraine, turned out this way. It feels like the knitting knew how important it was.
A blue 💙 and yellow 💛 shawl in the making
I thought I was being efficient: reuse the same stitches, keep it simple.🧶
Turns out the shawl had other plans. This border makes it bold, layered, almost regal, don't you agree?✨

I’m loving how the colors play together, holding each other up row after row.🧶
Bonus: when you roll it up, it looks like a sunflower. Totally unplanned, but I’ll take it. 🌻

There’s something very satisfying about seeing the stitch pattern take shape, especially when texture and color start working together like this.
I’ve been experimenting with dip stitches and a lace motif over Echo garter, and it’s finally behaving the way I hoped it would.

The beginning of a top-down triangle shawl in blue and yellow
I restarted this shawl for the third time, but I think that now I nailed it!
The shape looks good and I love how neater the center stitch looks and how the zigzags seamlessly merge into it. I modified also the little loops at the top of the zigzags to make them bigger and cleaner. Let's go! 🧶
Today I had a doubt and... 😡arghhh 🤬! This is NOT a triangle!
Now I'll have to frog the entire thing and start again. This time I'm going to try with 6 increases every 4 rows. Let's hope I'll get it right this time!
A blue and yellow shawl with a strange shape
Ok, last week I started this shawl for the second time and I was really surprised to see that I achieved a triangular shaped shawl with half the increases I'd normally used. So I continued happily knitting the shawl and didn't think to check whether everything was going fine. 🧶

The beginning of a top-down triangle shawl in blue and yellow
This looks much better!
It seems that I achieved a triangular shape with half the increases I would normally have: just 4 every 4 rows. That's so strange! 🧶
Anyway, I'll continue and see what happens. Wish me good luck!🤞
#knitting #shawlknitting
The shape is definitely not what I wanted to achieve. Maybe it's the way the garter stitch is worked that results in a larger and shorter than usual fabric...mmmhhh, now I have to frog, re-chart and start again from zero🤬
The beginning of a blue and yellow shawl
Not a great time for my knitting 🧶 lately...
Anyway, after a bit of swatching, planning and charting I started working on my new shawl. But... I wanted a triangular shawl! I followed the usual "recipe" with lateral and central increases, why it looks so strange?
Taraxacum is a top-down semicircular shawl started with an i-cord tab, then shaped by increases alternatively positioned after the branches/lines of slipped stitches. Lateral i-cords give a finished look with no effort.
