On this day and every day I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this beautiful land, including the Bunurong / Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation, who's country I live & work on and pay respect to their spiritual and living connection to land, waters and culture and to their elders past, present and emerging.

I'm often asked about design inspiration and my answer is a long one as it comes from so many places. The inspiration for the Eremophila Shawl came from 3 skeins of DK weight yarn I had in my stash. I purchased it along with some super bulky yarn of the same colour, which I used to knit up my chunky #sherbetfizzshawl (4th slide)
I wanted to knit a big, squishy DK triangular shawl with it. I started to play around with the idea of a triangle version of the #SolsticeWrap (5th and 6th slides) and the pattern flowed off the needles super fast. There was an initial knit and rip out of about the first third as I wasn't happy with how the edges were shaping up, a small tweak and this flew off the needles. While I was knitting it I decided a fingering weight version would be fabulous and kept dreaming of a mini skein set in the gorgeous pinks/golds/lilac featured in the DK yarn and put together the Koigu set (I share more about this 3 posts back).
The DK yarn is from @elizabethpawle

Eremophila, also known as Emu Bush, is one of my favourite native plants to grow and admire. They come in a beautiful range of colours from purple, to pinks to golden which are the colours I have chosen for my Eremophila Shawls. The pattern provides a choice between DK and fingering weight shawls and the fingering weight version can be knit in a single colour or with ten mini skeins. Worked top-down, the symmetrical triangle shape is easy to wear. Chevron patterning and eyelets make this a fun and satisfying project to knit and a dramatic finished result.

Eremophila Kits available from @koiguwool and their LYS retailers. Original colour kits and 2 fresh colourways have been added. Ask your local LYS for more info.
