Haar – The Sea Mist

A grey shawlette with a textured body and wide lace border on a white mannequin.When I was growing up, we lived just inland enough that the haar didn’t reach us – it was, in fact, a key reason my parents decided not to live on the coast! Later on though, I lived in Aberdeen, and it was inevitable that at some point on a gloriously sunny day, the haar would come rolling in off the sea and mask everything in a deep grey mist. So when I was looking for a mist related name for a shawl to match my Ceò cowl, and I had this gorgeous grey yarn from Eden Cottage Yarns, Haar was the inevitable name that came to mind!

This was a fun shawl design. When I released Ceò, I had several people say they would love a shawl version, and since I’d already done a lot of the work already it was fairly easy to convert. I had to rework the border slightly for but that actually made it even simpler! So if you want a stunning, relaxing and easy to knit shawl, this is the one for you!

Already bought Ceò? Then you’re in luck – Ceò and Haar are part of a collection called From the Mists, and anything you’ve already spent on either of the patterns will be deducted from the total cost of the collection!

I have been dreaming about a pair of fingerless mitts with a feather pattern for ages. It’s taken me a little while to figure it out. I didn’t want to use cables unless it was really necessary (spoiler, Assilag uses cables) because lots of little cables can be fiddly and tedious. I tried out some

I have had this idea for ages, for a striped cowl with a colourwork pattern at the join between the stripes. So long in fact that I picked up this yarn as a “spare” advent calendar at the end of the year. The yarn came as a gradient from white, through pink, to purple, to

Tufted Grass

I love knitting brioche. Once you get into the rhythm it’s a really relaxing process! I know the idea of knitting brioche can seem intimidating but the process is really simple, especially in this pattern. There’s only one colour, no brioche increases or decreases. It’s just a yarn over, slipped stitch and a knit stitch.

Fingerless mitts are always one of my favourite things to design and knit. The limited amount of space on the hand is a fun challenge and I love coming up with different ways to use the space! If you’ve been here for a while you’ll know that I started designing mitts with twisted rib and
