Falling Water in Sangria

By

I found the Falling Water pattern (by Bonnie Sennott) on Ravelry.com (you can find me there under "awurama" or "Denise Twum"), and I fell in love with it immediately! Then, I found the yarn I used, Handmaiden Fine Yarn Great Big Sea Silk, at Tricoter in Seattle, and the deal was sealed! I made the scarf for my friend Marteki Martei, who had been working very hard with me on a side project, in addition to trying to complete her second year of medical school. The yarn is gorgeous, the pattern is divine, and the two seem to be made for each other!! :) I almost didn't give the scarf to Teki! :P

    Love it! I am so impressed that you take your time to put your designs on Ravelry. Like I said - you are SO much more patient than I am. And they are beautiful.

Hello Spring! Here's a new free pattern!

By
Spring is FINALLY showing up in full force over here. I'm seeing flower petals floating along on the (STRONG) winds we've been having here in the Bay Area. To celebrate this change of seasons, here is a free pattern for a scarf that I designed last year. I called it Colliding Stars after my friend Melissa, who owns a calligraphy and design business called...you guessed it - Colliding Stars . She saw the initial sample of this scarf that I knit in some random green yarn I had in my stash. (Funny story - I bought the yarn from a fellow Ravelrer who had dyed it a bright neon green. I took it and overdyed the scarf a dark green, but I think I agitated the yarn too much so it had this sort of semi-felted look to it. Pretty interesting). Anyway, here are a few pictures of the initial Colliding Stars scarf, and the pattern follows. You can download a pdf version of the pattern here or on Ravelry . Colliding Stars Denise A. F.
