Today's featured pattern is the Woollsia Shawl
Enjoy an automatic 50% off today's featured pattern in my Ravelry & Etsy stores.
Taking inspiration from nature, the gradient set I used for the Woollsia Shawl Fade version was dyed to represent a wildflower meadow in the Northern Hemisphere. As I knit the gorgeous colours, I was reminded of the beautiful heath flowers that grow in the Australian bush and named it after one of the small heath shrubs, Woollsia pungens, whose foliage and flowers encapsulate all of the beautiful shades featured in my two shawls.

Choose between two size options; a single skein of beautiful yarn will create the small version, the perfect little accessory or gift, or create a beautiful fade from mini-skeins; perfect for that special kit you’ve been saving or those gorgeous leftovers in your stash. Simple, rhythmic knitting makes this a soothing and fast project for all skill levels.

Today's featured pattern is the Torquata Wrap
Enjoy an automatic 50% off today's featured pattern in Ravelry here and Etsy here.

Torquata is named for the Eucalyptus Torquate or Coral Gum, an Australian species with beautiful flowers in coral pink shades, a colour theme represented beautifully by @missbabsyarns who created the perfect gradient set for this design. Use a gradient set or mix and match mini skeins for a fun project in both the planning and knitting stage and will be a perfect way to use up some of those partial skeins in your stash too.
Knit on the bias, resulting in an asymmetrical wrap that is easy to wear in a variety of ways. The simple lace makes for a perfect first lace project or a relaxing knit for a seasoned knitter.
