Another Pattern Sale

Iris Rose

DH had a major surgery last Thursday so my mind was not on my blog.  As a treat for being patient with me, I am offering a 50% off coupon on my Northern Rose Shawl pattern for the next month.

This is an easy knit (all garter) combining a Faroese shape with Shetland lace patterns.  You can knit this up in sock or worsted depending on your preference.  The sock version is light and airy; the worsted is soft and cozy.  Both are knit on larger needles so working these won’t wear out your fingertips!

 

This shawl makes a lovely gift and you have plenty of time for Christmas knitting if you start now.  Knit it in three colours as I did to bust your stash or use all one colour for a truly reversible shawl.

I hope that you enjoy my patterns and remember you still have time to buy the poncho pattern featured in my last post at 50 off too until October the 9th!

Thanks for reading and be kind to one another.  Happy week ahead and don’t forget to enjoy the beauty around you!

Pattern Promotion, Gradient Cable Poncho

Iris Rose

I know that summer is still technically with us but, where I live anyway, the leaves are starting to turn yellow which means that fall is here. We can have warm days, but the evenings are cool as are the mornings.

I made this poncho last winter to stay cozy on those chilly early and late times of day. I spotted this really pretty gradient yarn in our LYS and just had to have it with, of course, no firm idea of what I was going to make with it. I had been fooling around with a poncho; the yarn and poncho idea were a match made in heaven.

This pattern can be made with any worsted weight yarn and is a fairly easy knit. Use 6mm (10.5US) to make this beauty in a warm and fuzzy or smooth and silky yarn to change up the look. The cables on the front and back are a simple front twist so no chart is needed. The instructions are written only.

The pattern is now on sale in my Ravelry store here with the coupon code 50OFF.

I will be featuring a coupon code for a pattern every couple of weeks over the fall and I hope that you will take advantage of my offer to you.

I have been busy with DD1 Hand dying yarn and will soon have that featured in my Etsy store as well.

Have a great week and remember to walk a mile in another’s shoes before judging. We are all wonderfully and uniquely different and deserve each other’s respect and kindness.
