Knitting - 11 in 2011

[momijizukamori]

So, as somewhat of a personal challenge to myself, I decided to try and go for the '11 in 2011' challenge (though unofficially!). Basically, the challenge was to knit (or crochet) eleven shawls in one year. Mine are all more of the 'shawlette' size, as that's how I like them, but I thought I'd share the photos, along with what patterns and yarn I used! Posted in order of creation~


1) Aestlight Shawl in Knit Picks Stroll Sport Rainforest Heather (with one skein overdyed for brown by me)




2) Multnomah in Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Blue Yonder (gradient overdyed by me, with hematite-colored beads on the edging)




3) Boneyard Shawl in handspun from Old Sturbridge Village (overdyed from natural by me)



4) The Age of Brass and Steam in Knit Picks Stroll Sport Bare (overdyed by me, with topaz-colored beads on the edging and a picot bind-off)




5) Gingko in Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Canopy



6) Holden Shawlette in Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Deep Ocean



7) Bitterroot in SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock Mist, with amethyst-colored beads




8) Bitterroot in Indigo Moon Merion Superwash Fingering Stormy Night, with hematite-colored beads




9) Springtime Bandit in SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock Goldmine




10) Marella in Mirasol Nuna Maya Blue/1011




11) Jaali in madelinetosh tosh sock Tart





I've included the links to Ravelry, but most of these patterns (with the exception of Aestlight, Marella, and Jaali) are free, and you can probably find them elsewhere via Google!

Oh my goodness. You will never have cold shoulders, I bet.

Those are all absolutely gorgeous! I am in awe, and also inspired to make a (laceweight) shawl of my own *g*

Never *g* Though as you can see from the Multnomah, I love wearing them as scarves, so I guess it's more like warm neck.

I confess that I haven't managed to work myself up to anything laceweight yet - it's so skinny and kind of intimidating!
