Shawl wrap, stole... whatever. There's something about a rectangular length that is 1) elegant 2) also a bit like wearing your security blanket. 3) Added bonus, no shaping while knitting.
First up, Box of Rain from Apple Tree Knits. When I wrote about her new collection and shooting it last post, I had too much too include. So it gets it's own lead today!
Oh, the details! It's a beautiful center out stockinette rectangle, with lace edging. It's the kind of thing you can wrap up in and instantly feel amazing. It'd make a fab new mom gift, to wrap herself or the baby in .
And if that much fingering weight knitting is not your jam, consider this
And I can't leave out Glama from Drop Dead Easy Knits. You'd think I'd be immune to its charms, what with carting of this sizable sample around the country to trunk shows--however last week Kirsten showed me a stunning red one, also in Malabrigo Rasta, and I fell for it all over again. Bulky yarn but the drop stitches make it drape so beautifully.
Ok that's my Three Things for this Thursday posted a few hours later than intended. More to look at, from links on Carole's blog
Okay. I'll admit it. I want to knit Box of Rain based on the name alone. (But it's gorgeousness makes me want to knit it even more!) I have wanted to knit myself a Glama forEVER. I just may need to grab some of that red Malabrigo and cast on. . .

ReplyDeleteKohala. NICE ukulele! Oh yeah, the knits are great too. Excellent photos my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am with Kym on that Box of Rain... great name and it is truly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! Stunning wraps in this post. I need to do more of the rectangular patterns... I love making wraps, but have been stuck in a triangular shawl rut lately.
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are gorgeous but Box of Rain might be my favorite!
