Inner Truth - the Collection grows

Well, a lot of folks are working on this scarf so we have a collection! and this can be a gallery for now, with it ultimately going onto the Crystal Palace Yarns website
CrystalPalaceYarns.
First, a version by Deb, which uses 2 strands of DK Panda Silk

2nd - From the fun blog Saturdayknitlive is a version in Bamboozle


And 3rd, in a single-strand of DK Panda Silk, is another scarf by Deb, whose blog is Debi-doodles

Mother of Pearl Beauty!

There are blogs to watch - with talent to emulate in both the knitting world & the blogosphere - and Grumperina's blog is one of those for sure!
i laughed so hard reading parts of hers that i started my own draft of "100 things you didn't know about me" but er umm, didn't get past the draft.

enough about me.
here are pics of a gorgeous new scarf design
in DK Panda Silk by Grumperina.
The design is called Mother of Pearl.
I particularly like her creative use of multiple design elements and the name & colors and texture are all so evocative!
the pattern pdf can be found here Mother of Pearl Scarf
Happy Valentine's!

Inner Truth -

My pattern Inner Truth was published in MagKnits, which unfortunately is now defunct.
and i've had soooooooooooooo many emails requesting the pattern.
so, have tweaked it a wee bit, as i had requests to make it wider, and this post showcases two versions knit with dk Panda Silk.... [pastel with single strand, man's browns with double strand]
all these gorgeous models were knit by Deb Woods,debi-doodles



you can find the free pattern here: Inner Truth

dk panda silk inspiration

Already we've got several really nice new free patterns for you to try with the NEW Panda Silk DK yarn. I love the hand, the look and the zippiness of this yarn. it's gorgeous, but i can finish something quickly too. I love fingering sock yarns, but it's so nice to make gift socks or baby gifts quickly sometimes too!
