Waves take shape

I'm on my way.
I call it a free color pattern, I choose the colors during the work. The yarn with shimmer which I wanted to use in this shawl, I've decided to use in another project. 
In this shawl I use only mohair yarns.
 
 
I like it also as a scarf but it will be a shawl.

Rowan Magazine 54

It's always exciting to open a new knitting magazine.
Sometimes you feel almost overwhelmed by all those
designs that you want to make.
In this new issue of Rowan Magazine the themes of this autumn are 'Romancing', 'Folk' and 'Essentials'.
And of course here are a number of interesting 
designs just waiting to be realized. 
 
 
Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine Number 54

 
'Silla' has everything. Interesting & elegant!

 
'Armenia' makes me want to embroider on knits.
'Christine', wild simplicity. 


'Chrystal', surprising design.


'Kashmir Scarf Wrap' by colorful Kaffe Fassett
Love the functional design but probably I choose
a more subtle color combination.

Crochet in Waves

Summer is wonderful!
I love the life-giving sun, the warmth and the greenery.
However I think of the lovely colorful fall and beautiful knitted and crocheted sweaters and shawls.
 

This wave pattern shawl is an excellent project to use up
residual yarns.



Here are the colors for my 'Shawl in Waves'.
The dark yarn is in dark brown.
 
The pattern is from a swedish crochet book,
 'Virka mera' by Ewa Wincent and Paula Hammerskog.
 
If you know how to crochet a wave pattern you can make  a shawl like this or your own kind of shawl or scarf.
