Hello!
The Starflower shawl is out now!
Starflower is a semi-circular shawl worked in chunky yarn to create a hug of wool that revels in simple elegance. Easily made as large or as small as you would like, this is a perfect first-shawl project or a quick knit for someone in your life in need of warmth.
I had the pleasure of using the appropriately named Pleasingly Plump yarn from Hill View Farms for this sample shawl, which is an exceptionally soft 100% Blue-faced Leicester wool. This is the same yarn I used for the Starflower Sweater and I can’t recommend it highly enough! 
A shawl may not be the first thing you would imagine knitting with chunky yarn, but I think there is a good case to be made for it! I’ll chat about the shawl and the benefits of chunky yarn on the EastLondonKnit podcast Episode 7, coming out 30th June.
The shawl is 15% off until 4th July 2017 for subscribers to the EastLondonKnit newsletter!
You can buy the Starflower pattern here.

Hello!
How is your knitting season going? I hear that mid-January is considered the most depressing time of the year. Do you find that to be the case? For me, once I have had a tiny tantrum about Christmas being over, really over, I get excited about the New Year and new resolutions and plans and fresh starts, etc. I had the launch of my Craftsy machine knitting class to keep me on my toes, and the pleasure of seeing the latest publication from the Edinburgh Yarn Fest ladies, so I didn’t feel the blues.
You may have seen the previews for Wool Tribe 2017 are up and the magazine is available for pre-order now!
There are 6 lovely accessory designs from indie designers, including Amanda B. Collins, Jane Crowfoot, Francesca Hughes, Clare Devine, Donna Smith and my contribution; Belsyde, an asymmetrical triangular shawl worked with Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville in Dawn and gorgeous Islington in Siren Call teal.
The shawl uses 3 different types of geometric lace to create a unisex shawl with lots of interest.
To get all 6 patterns, you can pre-order your copy of Wool Tribe here!
The shawl will be available as an individual digital download in June.
I hope you are knitting the blues away!
Happy knitting,
