A look back to the 2018 Woolenberry Shawl Club

By

The wait is over – The 2018 Woolenberry Shawl Club patterns are now available individually!

In 2018, the club included 4 beautiful shawl patterns. Each shawl was inspired by one of the four seasons. Airy and delicate designs for spring and summer and warm and cosy ones for autumn and winter. With these shawls, you can explore different stitch patterns and spend many hours relaxing with your knitting.

All these patterns are now available individually on Ravelry. Which one is your favourite? Share your projects on Instagram with #woolenberry.

Spring Bloom

Spring Bloom shawl pattern from Woolenberry

Light and airy, the focal point of this beautiful shawl is the eye-catching lace. The lace pattern is interspersed with blocks of garter stitch and eyelet stripes. Spring Bloom is worked from one tip to the opposite side of the triangle, creating a slightly asymmetric shape that is both wearable and fun. Knitted in two colours, you can play with different combinations and choose colours that either complement or contrast each other. Go as bright and bold or as soft and muted as you want, or take your cues from the seasons around you.

Summer Meadow

Summer Meadow shawl pattern from Woolenberry

Big and floaty, Summer Meadow is an absolute beauty with its delicate details and breathtaking lightness. This shawl combines garter stitch with a beautifully textured eyelet pattern. Small eyelets are sprinkled along stockinette stitch and framed with petite garter ridges to add textural interest.

Autumn Woods

Autumn Woods shawl pattern from Woolenberry

This beautiful two-colour shawl has lots of rustic texture. The deeply textured ribbing looks different on both sides and is so enjoyable to knit you won’t want to put your needles down. Strings of hearts run along the right side of the ribbing pattern and the other side has vertical bands of small faux-bobbles. Stripes and a lace border in a contrasting colour offer a dose of colour therapy and add a touch of lightness.

New Comfort Zone shawl & Winter Sale 2019!

Comfort Zone shawl pattern from Woolenberry

Happy new year!

Let’s start 2019 with some relaxing knitting, shall we? All the gift knitting and busyness of the holidays is behind us, and we can focus on knitting just for the fun of it. Without deadlines or tight schedules.

To help you get your new knitting year off to a great start, the annual Woolenberry Winter Sale is here! And the new Comfort Zone shawl is also included in the sale.

Comfort Zone is the antidote to overwhelm. Familiar, relaxing and ultimately soothing. Stitch by stitch, you feel your shoulders drop and the tension ease out. The eyelet square pattern is enjoyable to knit and looks beautiful in any yarn.

I knitted my Comfort Zone with three skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% Wool, 251 m / 275 yds per 50 g). And I love it! The minimalist style of the shawl lets the yarn be in the spotlight.

You can knit your Comfort Zone with any yarn you want to. The pattern is easily adaptable to different yarn weights and yardages. So whether the yarn that is calling your name is a single skein of luxurious fingering weight or several skeins of soft and warm worsted weight wool, or something in between, you can use it to cast on for this one.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the Woolenberry Winter Sale on Ravelry! The buy 2 + get 1 free sale continues until January 20th. No coupon code needed, just add three patterns to your cart and the price will adjust. The offer includes all patterns and collections.

Sneak peek: Comfort Zone shawl

Comfort Zone knitting pattern from Woolenberry.

Here’s my finished Comfort Zone shawl. Don’t you just love it? I know I do! This minimalistic triangle shawl lets the yarn be in the spotlight and makes the shawl easy to wear with many different outfits. And most importantly, I also loved every minute of knitting it!

In fact, I’m planning to cast on for another one. In addition to being extremely comforting to knit, the pattern is also easily adaptable to different yarn weights and yardages. I knitted my first Comfort Zone out of three skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% Wool, 251 m / 275 yds per 50 g; I used 703 m / 770 yds for the shawl). For the second one, I’m thinking of using some precious single skein from my stash.

So go have a look at what treasures are waiting in your stash and earmark them for this pattern. You could do one with a treasured fingering weight skein and another one out of cosy worsted weight skeins. Or with something in between. And if Brooklyn Tweed Loft is calling your name, I can definitely recommend it for this pattern.

I want to wish you a very relaxing and wonderful holiday season and happy New Year. I’ll see you in January with the release of Comfort Zone.
