Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Grevill Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Grevillea Shawl.

Gorgeous Grevilleas, a flower native to Australia, come in a wide array of colours. When I was choosing a colour palette for this design, I found myself drawn to light to dark pinky-reds. The airy lace pattern and range of colours remind me of the spiky, loopy flowers of these beautiful bush flowers. The Grevillea Shawl was designed to feature the ten colours of a Koigu Pencil box mini-skein set, teamed with a main colour. Alternately this will knit up beautifully in a single colour: solid, speckle or gradient. An airy, asymmetrical triangle, this shawl will be fun to knit and lovely to wear all year round.

The pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the lace.

The blue version pictured was knit by @terinaknits who used her Love & Speckles yarn and knit a version alternating between Singles and Suri Fluff for a gorgeous textured result. See more images and her project notes on Ravelry here.
The silver version was knit in beautiufl @blackwattleyarn

Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Melaleu Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Melaleuca Shawl.

Combine classic stripes with lace for a relaxed shawl to enjoy year-round. Asymmetrical triangular shaping is easy to wear and so satisfying to knit. Choose boldly contrasting yarns or knit your Melaleuca up with a more subtle variegated yarn and solid colour combination as I did with mine. I loved knitting this as I moved to my new coastal home. The play of colours in this shawl echoes the dappling light in the lovely Melaleuca trees prevalent along the coast.

Instructions include written and charted instructions for the lace section.
