Work in Progress 2: lovely mittens and lavender shawl


Last weekend I decided to play a bit with a new type of project - fingerless mittens in a lovely shade of grey. Still haven't decided if I want to keep them for myself or list them in my shop.


And here comes another of my WIPs - a lovely lavender shawl, half done.

New shawl is added to my shop


Here it is! A new shawl just added to my Etsy shop. A large and amazingly soft shawl knitted sideways, with a ruffled edge. It was the first shawl I knitted using this method but I'm already in love with it - just have to think about a clever way to combine knitting sideways, short rows ruffle and more lace!

This shawl is available at MadelinesWardrobe Etsy Shop for $79

Work in Progress: A no-lace shawl with ruffles


No lace this time! I'm trying a new method of knitting shawls out - from one side to another with short rows to create the ruffles. I have to say I really like it! I'm using my favourite yarn - DK Riots by King Cole, it fits perfectly the simple pattern of the shawl.

Work-in-Progress: Believe it or not but it's not a shawl


I decided to take 1-project-break from shawls and ended up knitting this lovely vest/camisole/top. I couldn't find a nice pattern for such a thin mohair yarn so I'm improvising :D

I'm using the same soft and luxurious mohair yarn I used for this shawl. I had 2 skeins left so not enough for a shawl :-) I still haven't decided if I want to keep this camisole for myself or put in on sale.

Custom ordered shawl is finished as well!


Yes, I know you've seen this design a million+ times, but I really love knitting it and my customers seem to like it a lot :-) This shawl was knitted for a lovely lady who contacted me via Etsy. I have to say I like it a lot! 

I've used all my merino snow white yarn to knit this shawl - time to order some more!*

* I know I said I'm not gonna order any more yarn in a month but I'd like to have the white one stored "just in case"

Custom order: white leaves lacy shawl


Just started working on a new shawl for one of customers who contacted me via my Etsy shop. It will be big, white and super lacy! I'm working with 100% fine merino yarn in snow white shade.

Remember the pink mohair shawl? It's finished


It took me ages to photograph this shawl! I love how soft and delicate it looks, will be great to wear with a dress. It was handknitted with extra fine mohair yarn, hand painted in shades of raspberry pink and whites.

I'll add it to my Etsy shop in a couple of hours.
