Graffiti Park is a design inspired
by the “Schanzenviertel” in Hamburg, Germany, a neighborhood
where I used to live for a couple of
years. It’s colorful, a bit wild, has
lots of bars and little places to eat
and features lots of graffiti everywhere, especially around the little
park behind “Rote Flora”, an old
theater that has become a community project.
Graffiti Park is a shawl with a
simple, but fun lace pattern that
evolves during the knitting and
looks fabulous in a fun multicolor like Yowza by Miss Babs. Start at one
corner and knit up all your yarn! For this shawl, we recommend • 1 Skein "Yowza" by Miss Babs (one skein weighs 227 g, meterage is 226 m / 100 g, which gives you 513 m per skein)or alternatively• 3 skeins "Alegria Grande" by Manos del Uruguay (one skein weighs 100 g, meterage is 180 m / 100 g, so 3 skeins will give you 540 m )

Cowls and loops are just wonderful: You sling them around and you’re ready to go! Also, I really like how roomy and warm they are. And since I wanted one that looks good in my favorite hand-dyed yarn, I made Matchmaker. Its very special triangular but 3-dimensional shape makes it very versatile and warm in the right places. Entirely knit in garter stitch, it is a mindless pleasure to knit. I called this one “Matchmaker”, because you can choose your two favorite hand-dyed colorways and marry them to this comfy, squishy, oversized cowl (the perfect use for Wollmeise’s “We’re Different”-bags!).
The design is such that there are no spooky techniques involved (like provisional cast-ons, short rows or the like), and there is no joining in the round where you might accidentally twist something. Just straightforward knitting and a few increases and decreases - very suitable for beginners! The pattern provides 3 versions: The Pure Version for a fingering weight yarn, the DK Version and a Freestyle Version that instructs you to use a different yarn of your choosing, with stripes wherever you want them.
Please check out this little video in which I explain how Matchmaker works.
The colors I used in my protoypes are: Wollmeise Pure: Xaverl (Color A, 135g) and So long Kitty (Color B, 150g) Wollmeise Pure: Vincent (Color A, 135g) and Sail the 7 Seas (Color B, 150g)Wollmeise Merino DK: Dunkle Kirsche (Color A, 165g) and Tutu dark (Color B, 155g)The pattern "Matchmaker" is part of Martina Behm´s book "Strickmich! Knitting Inventions".
