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.
