Inspiration

We all need it don’t we?

Luc and I were downtown today and we popped in to the shop. As I looked around, I saw new shop samples. I thought I should show you what Mom, Betsy and Charissa have been up to.

This is my favorite. I happened to be in the shop with Charissa was there, and got to pick the yarn and the pattern. I think it turned out great if I do say so myself. This is what I would knit if I weren’t just an OK (occasional knitter). It is the Ysabei pattern by Brandy Velten. We chose NBK and WSK for this beauty.

Mom just finished Batad by Stephen West. She used Shalimar Breathless. The color combinations are endless for this striking cowl/shawl.

Then I saw Betsy’s Clementine Cowl. Such a different look that the one I did in red and blue. But now we have two so you can see more options for this fun EASY knit.

This week’s free pattern is The Coffee Shop Wrap by Alexandra Tavel. She used worsted weight on larger needles to create the airy effect. I really like the colors here, and even like the tassels! Don’t think I could pull those shorts off though.
