Something’s flapping its wings behind the scenes... and it’s almost ready to take off.
Kryla lands this Saturday, carrying a story of resistance, interlaced colours, and a poem hidden in yarn.

After washing and blocking, this shawl surprised me again: the fabric opened up into something I hadn’t fully anticipated. Light, airy, and almost weightless - as if it could take flight.
The colours stayed crisp, the stitches clear, but the whole shawl felt transformed.

Finding the right way to end a project can be surprisingly tricky.
I tested several options for this bind-off, and none of them felt quite right until this one. What do you think? Is it regal enough?👑

I thought I was being efficient: reuse the same stitches, keep it simple.🧶
Turns out the shawl had other plans.  This border makes it bold, layered, almost regal, don't you agree?✨

There’s something very satisfying about seeing the stitch pattern take shape, especially when texture and color start working together like this.
I’ve been experimenting with dip stitches and a lace motif over Echo garter, and it’s finally behaving the way I hoped it would.

I restarted this shawl for the third time, but I think that now I nailed it!
The shape looks good and I love how neater the center stitch looks and how the zigzags seamlessly merge into it. I modified also the little loops at the top of the zigzags to make them bigger and cleaner. Let's go! 🧶

Ok, last week I started this shawl for the second time and I was really surprised to see that I achieved a triangular shaped shawl with half the increases I'd normally used. So I continued happily knitting the shawl and didn't think to check whether everything was going fine. 🧶

This looks much better!
It seems that I achieved a triangular shape with half the increases I would normally have: just 4 every 4 rows. That's so strange! 🧶
Anyway, I'll continue and see what happens. Wish me good luck!🤞

Not a great time for my knitting 🧶 lately... 
Anyway, after a bit of swatching, planning and charting I started working on my new shawl. But... I wanted a triangular shawl! I followed the usual "recipe" with lateral and central increases, why it looks so strange?

And the first mitt is ready!🎉
I think to knit the second one inverting the colors, to have the cable design made with the darker blue. What do you think?

Monochromatic isn’t exactly my style. I love bold contrasts and vibrant combinations, but every now and then, I find myself creating single-color designs.🧶 Interestingly, this tends to happen mostly with warm-weather projects.

Favorite: My Wild Rosehips shawl is certainly one of your favorites and I obviously love it too. 🧶

This is a piece I started some time ago and then abandoned. I didn't like how it looks, found it too busy and confused, so I decided to let it go.🧶 Today I took some pictures to show it for this prompt and... I changed my mind!

I love textures! My passion is finding new and interesting ways to combine textures with color, such as cables & mosaic, marling & dip stitches, twisted stitches with "echo knitting" etc. So many possibilities!
