Introducing the Twist Shawl, the second of 4 new p Introducing the Twist Shawl, the second of 4 new patterns I’m adding to my #ambahsfestivekal2025 bundle. A shawl version of the popular #TwistCardigan, the Twist Shawl offers plenty of opportunity to incorporate your own creativity. This design is specifically created to complement a festive mini-skein set, offering a variety of ways to integrate the mini-skeins into your knit. You can knit stripes to showcase the individual colors, blend a gradient set for a continuous fade effect, or have fun with bold color blocking. The pattern includes instructions to create a stripe option utilising 12 x 20 g mini-skeins while the gradient version is designed for 24 x 10 g mini-skeins. The finished Twist Shawl is designed to sit comfortably over the shoulders and can be styled in multiple ways to suit the wearer. Pictured is the striped version knit up in assorted stash minis & leftovers. Join us for the 2025 Ambah’s Festive KAL and knit yourself a gorgeous Wrap! Twist Shawl and 3 other new patterns will be added to the Festive KAL pattern bundle, all to be published late November, 2025 ahead of the KAL start date. #twistshawl #ambahobrien #knitlove #festivekal #adventknitting #adventyarn #miniskeins #knit #knitting
Magiclands Wrap, my fingering weight version. (See Magiclands Wrap, my fingering weight version. (See yesterday’s post for the DK one). The first of 4 new patterns added to the #ambahsfestivekal25 bundle 💛 Make the most of a gorgeous 24-colour festive yarn set with this large wrap project. Cruisy garter stitch with a simple intarsia pattern is perfect for a first intarsia project and keeps things interesting. The Magiclands Wrap is a soothing project to retreat to during busy days and results in a large wrap to cosy up in. The simple pattern allows your gorgeous yarn to be the star of the show and includes a choice of DK or fingering weight yarn. Magiclands is a surf beach a short walk from my home. I wanted to honour the two yarn sets I chose for my projects, each ocean-themed, celebrating two coastal locations for different hemispheres. Magiclands is where I take my Aurora Australis images, also apt as Magiclands Wrap is the wrap version of the Aurora Hunter Shawl. Pictured is the fingering weight vesion pictured in colour, I used Love & Speckles @terinaknits stunning Western Australian Coastline set. For full project planning details see the Ravelry pattern page or my blog post. Yarn kindly #gifted thanks Terina 💛 #ambahobrien #magiclandswrap #loveandspeckles #knitlove #knit #knitting #adventknitting #knitknitknit #miniskeins
