Create: Nordic Wind

 

 

 

Nordic Wind by CabinFour (Ravelry)

I used:

Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 8ply Cinder Fleck

Knitpicks City Tweed DK Reindeer

Knitpicks City Tweed DK Orca

Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply Linen Fleck

I followed the pattern as written but added 2 inches to each section (adding 8 inches in total to the finished depth)

Some time ago, in my plans to simplify (everything!), I decided to come up with a colour palette of sorts to help me when choosing clothes/fabrics/yarns. I was spending too much time trying to get an outfit that somewhat went together. To do this I set myself up a board on Pinterest and collated images and colour stories that felt cohesive. Think greys, navy blue, creams, olive green, black etc. 

I've applied it to almost every aspect of our life and finally I feel like the vision I've always had in my head is starting to become the reality. Instead of being overwhelmed at a fabric stash full of colours I'd never use or knitted accessories that I love but are way to "out there",  I can shop more thoughtfully and not waste anymore time or money. Of course there'll still be pops of colour, to keep things interesting!

I feel this shawl is a step in the right direction. Classicly designed with simple colours that will suit at any time.
