Today, the Garden Gold Wrap in Garden 10 Metallic (pattern link here). It may be a little late to get started on your holiday wardrobe for this year, but you can still get a jump start on your next big occasion.
Kristin Hansen’s shimmering Garden Gold Wrap uses Nazli Gelin Garden 10 Metallic for a beautiful shine.
Ooh… aah…
“Nazli Gelin” means “shy bride” in Turkish, and it’s easy to imagine this shawl in white for a wedding, or in a coordinating color for an honored guest.
For extra effect, Kristin Hansen has added beads to the lace motifs. This is a challenging and rewarding knit that will turn heads.

We hope you have a great weekend, filled with comfort and joy.
Happy crafting!

Free Pattern Friday – Phantom Shawlette

It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Phantom Shawlette in Cotton Gold (pattern link here). What a treat! Kristin Hansen is a wonderful designer who does magical things with lace. This beautifully shaped shawl is no exception.
It wraps around your shoulders like you were born wearing it.
This design was formerly for sale as part of e-book Sparkle Fine 2, a collection of three exquisite knitted shawls designed by Kristin Hansen. Today, we’re setting it free! This shawl takes three balls of Rozetti Yarns Cotton Gold, a thin cotton securely strung with sequins. Shown: color 1100, blue yarn with blue sequins.
It adds an otherworldly sparkle to an ethereal design. The shawl is worked top down, with some decrease magic to give it its swooping shape. The border is knitted on after finishing the body.
This light cotton shawl is the perfect thing for some summertime glamour.
We hope you have a cool, relaxing weekend. Happy crafting!
