Shirin Shawl is a reflection of how I like to treat my wandering mind with my favorite craft - get into the flow of knitting and watch some delicate lace form under my needles, then slip away into the quietness of garter and at times revel in creating bobbles with child-like delight.

Vivir is a 3-color shawl entirely knit in garter stitch featuring lively garter stripes and an interesting construction. It has a long and shallow shape that can be wrapped easily around the neck. The tapered ends are easy to tuck in but also look stylish if you leave them dangling.

This pattern was born whilst playing with the placement of a simple twisted stitch pattern in a hazy afternoon. I discovered that slightly staggering the motifs instead of stacking them straight, led to some eye-pleasing results.

Ansh Cowl is a versatile accessory that can live in your wardrobe and can easily be thrown over any outfit for an instant update. Knitted with a rich variegated yarn, it can add a brilliant color pop and round out even the most basic looks.

Diamonds, gingham checks, leaves are such commonly seen motifs on so many lovingly decorated and lived-in homes. No matter where life takes you in its long mysterious journeys, I bet we all have some remains of these memories about a home that we savor every now and then.

It is officially spring here, where I live. And spring is the time for changes, hope, growth and joy. Not just the weather but also what is going on around me has definitely an effect on my knitting. Naturally, I seek my daily dose of comfort and peace through my crafting. Does that happen to you too?
