New Patterns! A Giveaway! The Stella Collection!

 I'm so excited that this is now live!! Tanis and I have been busy working on a summery little lace collection:


Clockwise from top left: Nashira, Adhara, Solaria, and Suncrest.

The collection features 4 lace shawls interpreted in different ways: Nashira is a rectangular stole, Adhara is a two-colour triangular shawl, Solaria is a cowl (can also be worn as a caplet), and Suncrest is a half-oval.The whole collection is available for $15 (bargain!), or individually for $6 each.

 I designed Solaria during the final stages of my pregnancy, but Nashira was designed entirely after Lila was born. I can't get as much knitting done as I'd like, but having a newborn just makes me choosier about my projects, and designs.


Tanis of course designed the lovely Adhara and Suncrest:


All of the designs feature a different Tanis Fiber Arts yarn base and colourway. And of course, there are tonnes of colours to choose from!

Let's get to the giveaway! We're giving away to one lucky knitter a copy of the ebook, which includes all 4 patterns. To enter, leave a comment below telling me which pattern you are most excited to knit. Don't forget to leave your email or Ravelry ID, so I can get in touch with you if you win!  You can enter until 7:00 a.m. on Friday, June 22nd. I'll announce a winner that Friday afternoon. Good luck!

You ladies did a fabulous job! The designs are gorgeous. I'm a sucker for rectangular shawls, so I'd go for Nashira...followed closely by Suncrest ;)

I'm torn between Adhara and Solaria - I love the lace pattern on the cowl, but lately I've been really hung up on triangle shawls. I think Solaria wind the tie-breaker, though, because I already have the perfect yarn for it!

It amazes me that you had a baby just a little while ago, you look so fantastic! I'm so glad you're able to find time to keep knitting and creating such beautiful patterns.

I'd love to knit Nashira - I can see it in TFA Mulberry Silk in the sand colourway (making it look like silver!)

Jules said...

I have to say, they are all lovely, but I would definitely go for the Suncrest first!

Marillion said...

Wow, gorgeous patterns! Solaria is my favourite.

Debbie said...

They are so beautiful. It would be such a hard decision but I am leaning towards adhara. No solaria. No adhara. Well I would figure it out haha.
