Triagonal Shawlette was published in April...
Make the most of a special skein, five mini skeins or gather together some delicious leftovers and knit this sweet shawlette. It’s the perfect project to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe or make as a quick gift knit. Knit tip-to-tip with bias shaping creates fun opportunities for colour blocking or for featuring colour-changing yarn. Choose between a slightly smaller version or the looser, larger fingering weight versions by changing the gauge with smaller or larger needles or make a DK weight version.

First up was the Florescence Shawl.

Knit up this special shawl and keep this for yourself or gift it to a dear friend. Worked from the bottom up, featuring a floral motif with geometric styling inspired by Art Deco design motifs. Use solid colour yarns or add extra love with gradient or colour change yarns for either C1 or C2 and create an heirloom piece to enjoy for years to come. Choose between the fingering weight or larger DK weight options for this statement project. The mosaic pattern is more prominent with highly contrasting colours.
Shown in yarn from @terinaknits and the fingering weight version used a beautiful gradient from @freiafibers
