Really excited to show you the progress on one of my shiny new projects for the new year. It's the Find Your Fade shawl by Andrea Mowry. I am sure that many of you who go on Instagram have seen a number of knitters who are either planning out their fade or knitting on this right now. I love looking at all the yarn/color combinations going on out there. For mine, I was really inspired by the colors of the winter season, mainly greys and blues. I wanted a very subtle fade and so decided on a gradient effect:

I am just loving this project right now. So soothing and relaxing to knit. The yarn is a single ply merino and is heavenly to work with. I've been watching a lot of video podcasts lately and this project is the perfect accompaniment along with a hot cup of tea and holiday chocolates. One of my favorite knitting podcast right now is a homespun house. I can listen to Molly talk about yarn and fiber all day long.
What kinds of shiny new projects are currently on your needles? Are there any particular knits that you would like to focus on this year? I can remember being so excited to knit socks at the beginning of last year. I am hoping to mix it up more this year, with socks, cowls, shawls and sweaters all getting equal attention.
I love your fade colors - so pretty! Looking forward to seeing its progress here and over on IG!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! I LOVE the beginning of your shawl. I like its moodiness. I want to knit one but will wait when I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteYour fade is so going to be beautiful in that color palette! I'm knitting a cowl in a bold color to brighten these short, winter days.
ReplyDeleteOMG! This must be the prettiest fade I've seen so far!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
oh wow, Your FYF is easily my favourite that I've seen! I love the colours you chose- so harmonious, and I bet you will be able to wear it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love the Fade, but don't need another thing on my plate! After the ever present baby knitting that seems to fill my year's list, I plan on more sweaters for me. Cause I only have 4-5 sweaters worth in the stash!
ReplyDeleteWow! These gradients are mesmerizing!! Looks like a starry night sky, absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so beautiful. Inspiring, as if I don't have enough projects on the go right now lol
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you've chosen. I'm not going to knit Fade, but I do have an ombre baby blanket I'm going to start soon for a gift.
ReplyDeleteWow! I've seen a lot of versions of this shawl stop by on instagram but I think this is my favourite fade so far. Love these winter inspired colours!
ReplyDeleteHands down my favorite yarn combo for a fade!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop staring at it.
Your fade is one of my favorites! So subtle in the color changes but really striking all together! -Sierra
