New one skein wonder: Drops of Joy

· By Janina Kallio

Drops of Joy shawl pattern from Woolenberry

Got your yarn and needles ready? I hope so, because Drops of Joy is finally here!

I’m excited to share this new pattern with you. I’ve received so many requests asking for more crescent shaped one skein wonders. And with your requests in mind, I set out to design this shawl and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. I thoroughly enjoyed designing and knitting my Drops of Joy.

Drops of Joy is effortless and simple to knit and all you need is one skein of fingering weight yarn. You begin at the neck and work your way down through the airy eyelet body to the fishnet lace border. And you’ll enjoy every stitch along the way!

We had a wonderful test knit group for Drops of Joy and the project gallery they created is stunning. You can see all their projects on Ravelry. If you haven’t chosen your yarn yet, you’re going to find lots of inspiration there!

Work in progress: New pattern for the 2019 Woolenberry Shawl Club

New shawl on my needles!

I’ve cast on for the second pattern in this year’s Shawl Club (coming in May!). Initially I had totally different ideas for the summer installment of the club. But as I was sketching and swatching for something else, I almost accidentally came up with this shawl and fell madly in love with it. And I just knew I had to include it in the Shawl Club.

I’m once again knitting with Primrose Yarn Co. Adelaide, the same yarn I used for my upcoming shawl pattern Drops of Joy. I bought these skeins last summer at the Jyväskylä Knit Festival, with no clue what to knit with them. But now I’m so glad I splurged on them!

The second pattern in the 2019 Woolenberry Shawl Club is released in May. If you haven’t joined already, it’s not too late!

On my needles: Railings shawl

For the love of crescent shape one skein wonders!

As I was working on my upcoming shawl pattern Drops of Joy, I remembered how much I love crescent one skein wonders. So I simply had to cast on another one. I chose Railings, an oldie but a goldie, and I’m now happily knitting away.

For me, revisiting older patterns is a wonderful way to relax. It’s such a pleasure to follow a pattern, without having to do any math or problem solving.

It’s fun to see how changing the colour can change the feel of the shawl. I knitted my previous Railings in a dark green colourway. Now I’m using a light and delicate one, perfect for spring and summer. The yarn I’m using is actually the same one I knitted my Rosewater shawl with, Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in colour Calligraphy.

I’m excited to see Railings grow on my needles. And as a one skein wonder, it’ll be a quick knit. I can’t wait to wear it!
