This Monday was very unusual in Brno. I woke up in the middle of nowhere. Everything was covered with snow. And it was still falling heavily. I swear, I had to take an umbrella on the way to my friend Xenia. We had an appointment for a photography. And it was just the perfect day to capture my newest Living Lagom Shawl. Who knows, maybe we won’t see that much snow in years now.
I was cold, I was wet, I was happy.
If you checked my blog last week, you have probably seen sneak peeks of this design. And I was also talking about source of my inspiration.
Living Lagom shawl was one of those designs which come out to the world naturally. Starting with the name, crochet concept and even pattern writing.
I believe it took me just three evenings to crochet the entire piece. Well, no wonder if you use bulky yarn (you'll need 5 skeins) and 7 mm hook*. And working with Namaste yarn by Scheepjes was a pure pleasure. This yarn is so soft, and so hugging.
I chose light grey color for myself, because I am fond of monochrome simple colors. And grey is just perfect to suite almost everything. But Namaste yarn comes in 34 gorgeous shades: both pastel and vibrant. And you really have what to choose from.
Namaste yarn is available in local Scheepjes shops and via online retailers:
I tried to keep Living Lagom shawl simple but with a certain touch of intricate details. So that it’s not too much, and not too little. Just “lagom”, or “just right”. And I hope I could achieve this balance.
The pattern will be written for one size, but it will be possible to play with measurements and make your own shawl smaller or larger. Just what you prefer.
Instructions will be published next week. So… get your yarn and hook ready! And see you then.
