River Birch

It's texture all the way in these springtime pieces by Deborah Newton featuring Marla, Sami, or both together! Interesting stitches give the fabrics depth and dimension, while on-trend shapes are perfect for layering.  In the River Birch popover, a slip-stitch pattern combines with Marla’s tweedy colors and Sami’s soft solid. The result is a yarn-y game of hide-and-seek rather than a rigid geometrical form.

Ranunculus

Ranunculus is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches. I have designed yoke pattern to look like wearing layers of necklace.

You can use lace, light fingering to worsted weight yarn. The degree of transparency depends on the weight of yarn. Knitting with thin yarn on big needle gives light, transparent and airy texture to this pullover. Using thicker yarn or holding two yarns together adds more weight, and more structured look.

Zorzal Shawl

This crescent shaped shawl is worked in a mix of garter stripes and short-row wedges to create a fun interplay of two contrasting colors. The tassels at the tips add an eye-catching element to highlight one of the colours.It’s a fun & addictive knit that creates a modern, easy-to-wear item for your daily wardrobe.We have many new beautiful colors in Malabrigo Sock Metamorphosis that would be great for this project!

Malabrigo Metamorphosis Sock

Malabrigo has hand-dyed their popular 100% superwash Merino wool fingering weight yarn in stunning, color changing gradients.

 Each gradient shifts from light to dark or dark to light (depending on whether you pull from center or outside) with a speckled dyeing technique to help the color blend seamlessly. This yarn is unique to other gradient yarns in that it produces a more dappled color shift. A fun yarn for shawls, hats, cowls, scarves & pullovers.
