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.

Lime green shawl is officially finished and looks great!


It's one of my favorite patterns to work with and the lime green yarn makes it look really great. The shawl is huge, approx. 210cm wide and I'm really happy with the end result.

You can find it in my MadelinesWardrobe Etsy shop

WIP Day 1: Lime green leaves lacy shawl


Here grows a new shawl! I have to say I really love this color and it matches the leaves pattern perfectly! The yarn is pure merino & I'm knitting using 2 strands of it to make the shawl slightly heavier. The yarn is lovely but really thin.
