Als ik op reis ga wil ik iets simpel meenemen om onderweg te breien. Simpel, maar toch afwisselend. Op de trein naar Berlijn startte ik een klein sjaaltje, patroon is 'Close to you'. Je vindt het gratis patroon op Ravelry
When I am travelling, I want to knit something simple, with just enough variation to keep me entertained. On the train to Berlin, I started a simple shawlette, the pattern is 'Close to you'. You can find the free pattern on Ravelry.
This simple but stylish shawl is knitted from one end with gradual increases to form a triangular shawl which is fun to knit and easy to wear. The zigzag border with eyelets gives it a nice touch and makes the knitting interesting. All you need is one 100gram skein of sockyarn, ideal for those handdyed 'wild' colorways.
Na opspelden was de grootte juist goed als halswarmertje. Ik ben heel blij met het eindproduct (en is op een winderige dag in Ierland goed van pas gekomen).
After blocking the shawlette came out the perfect size. Very happy with the outcome (and it did came in handy on a windy day in Ireland).

On the way back from Ireland I have knit two babyhats. In the airport I bumped into Ruth, aka Woolly Wormhead, the designer of the hat I was knitting. I could ask some expert advice right away! Besides being a fabulous designer, Ruth has also a very good memory, because she remembered that I took a workshop with her back in 2009.
Worked in the round and bottom up, Staggered is a pattern that suits beginners and experienced knitters alike. With two versions included, and a range of sizes, this classic beanie pattern will keep many heads warm.
