Frosted Flowers Scarf


My newest design plays with chevrons and leaves in one colour. It was inspired by the abutilon flower which led to the cowl of the same name but this time I wanted to only use texture, hence the one colour version of the design. It is knitted flat.

One colour brioche appears not to be as widespread as two colour brioche stitch but is just as easy. In fact even easier because there are no brp stitches.
I love the reverse too, which is somewhat different to the front pattern but nevertheless enchanting. 

Even if Spring will soon be here I think there will be enough opportunity to wear this squishy scarf when temperatures drop. 

A note about the decreases in one colour brioche stitch. They are exactly as in two colour brioche stitch knitted flat.

Palm Leaf Brioche Wrap





This is a lovely squishy mohair wrap in two-colour brioche stitch. It was inspired by a visit to Viaduct Animal Sanctuary My daughter likes snakes and would like to own one but I feel that in fact visiting the snakes, reptiles and other animals there will make up for it. It will have to because I will not let a snake into the house. 
 They plant palm trees in pots to create an exotic atmosphere. 
The snakes themselves have so far not inspired me much although the patterning on them is beautiful and they move very gracefully.
