Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Vestiges Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Vestiges Shawl.

Designed to use up all those itty bits of delicious yarn you have stashed away. You know, those bits you can’t bear to throw away, but are not quite sure what to do with them. Pair them with a full skein or two and create a shawl that is a memento of these glorious yarn vestiges. Using up leftovers from two Festive yarn kit mini skein projects, I created fingering and DK weight options to choose between. Your vestiges may be equal amounts of each colour, a partial solid or gradient skein or a combination of the two, dive in and create a tribute as a reminder of the yarn from a larger knitting project.

Included are both charted and written instructions the lace section.

Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Celestia Today’s #FeaturedFriday50 pattern is the Celestia Cardigan.

Where to start? This cardigan has it all: cute cropped length, rad eyelet patterning, and fade or solid colour options.
Create a sumptuous yarn with the ultimate hold-all-the-strands together mix of delicious luxe kid/silk/glitter for an out-of-this-world garment or go for a more rustic wool for every day wear. Knit from the top-down, short rows shape the neck and flattering raglan shaping forms the yoke. Keep yourself entertained with the eyelet patterning and finish with the cute cropped length that will look wonderful with frocks, skirts and your go-to denim.

The pattern includes a handy progress chart to keep track of your project.

A slightly modified version of the Moonflowers Sca A slightly modified version of the Moonflowers Scarf. I used fingering weight yarn for a narrower version and worked intarsia i-cord edging. 

There’s still time to whip up a sweet scarf in the #BeMineKALentine KAL 💛

I taught 2 mosaic classes, swipe to see my clever students, the fabulous teachers I got to hang out with (tap for their IG handles) and some snippets of the Mill. I was lucky enough to enjoy a factory tour, sadly my filming was dismal 😅 next time! 
A wonderful weekend of knitting, learning, chatting, lovely food & beautiful people ✨💛✨
