| The
following snapshots show different ways of wearing this
versatile tunic. |
|
The
long jacket - - or open tunic - - was knitted with 42 different
colors. |
|
|
|
| The
cashmere and silk blend is handspun and nature-dyed. |
I
am wearing this tunic
since 2002 and love it.
The
pattern is published in English on Ravelry. |
A
large safety pin is used here to secure both

I have modified and added information to the Moebius scarf with hemstitch pattern,
as you can see in the following pictures.
The pattern and the necessary number of stitches is provided for three sizes:
a small shawl on the right, a medium shawl on the left and the new, large version at the bottom.

The
Moebius scarf has many uses; draped over the shoulders it
keeps them warm and looks attractive. Should it get cooler,
it can be pulled over the head. It can also be wrapped twice
around the neck and, if it is very cold, pulled up like
a hat.

This vest is both practical as well as elegant and can be worn with either side showing. The pattern has a different appearance, depending on which side is used as right side.
The knitting instructions for the dark blue vest are in European size 40 (approx. medium in North American sizing). The grey vest is for European size 50 (approx. large).
The buttons on the collar make it possible to close the vest at the top.
This vest can also be made without provisions for buttons.
Both pictures show faint images of falling snow in the background - - proof that they were taken during the winter! (December 2008).

The pattern is also suitable for a jacket. The yarn should be firmly spun so that the coat doesn't stretch or bulge. To this end, it is useful to overtwist the yarn slightly. No need to worry about the garment tracking! The unique pattern of the coat accommodates a slightly overtwisted yarn.
|
|
STR 24
This coat is versatile, durable and practical. It can be an ordinary housecoat or a dressy coat for a concert or theatre. If you're attending an outdoor production and the seat is cold, you can even fold it up and use it as a cushion!

The pullover
and
his proud owner!
|
This pullover is in a classic style and can be worn by women and men alike. It is also totally reversible since there are no seams. In this picture you see the side that shows as vertical ridges, because that’s what Dorothea prefers. The reverse side consists mainly of stockinette stitches and appears therefore smoother.

Lotte's Three-Cornered Flower (Poppy) Shawl.
The many-coloured flower pattern is knit in stockinette stitch. Lotte was inspired by Kaffee Fasset but didn't enjoy to knit and purl with 2 colours in each row. She has now devised a simpler way to create the same look, using a circular needle. The instructions for this shawl are easy to follow.
