Karnickel

Product information "Karnickel"

Angora fiber is delicate, light and warm at the same time – wonderful for a beautiful handknit shawl! The yarn I used is from Seidenhase in Germany: Claire keeps her beloved Angora rabbits in spacious stables and carefully shears them several times a year  – much like sheep. On her website seidenhase.de Claire has put up pictures of the lovely bunnies before and after the shearing. So cute! For this shawl, I have combined an undyed light gray with a slightly variegated hand-dyed pink from Claire’s dyeing studio. Only 100 g of yarn make a shawl of generous dimensions that is an easy but interesting knit. “Karnickel” is the northern German colloquial pet name for rabbits, just like “Bunny”.

Amano Ayni
Color Amano: 5000 Salzweiß
Ayni by Amano is made from 80% Baby Alpaca and 20% Silk, yardage is about 200 meters / 218 yards / 50 g, so it's perfect for light but warm shawls like Rockin' Rows or Snowflake Party. Extra warm, extra soft and extra good for our planet – that’s the way we love a beautiful yarn, and the amazing alpaca yarns by Amano are just that! The fiber comes from cooperatives in Peru which employ the latest methods to ensure an animal-friendly environment and minimal impact on the surroundings. The high plains of the Andes are home to three and a half million alpacas. They have been living in this area for more than 5000 years and learned to thrive despite the rough climate and scarce food supply, earning their wool a reputation to be the most sustainable animal fiber there is. Alpaca fiber is significantly warmer than wool from sheep, it is very soft and has an attractive lustre – a dream for any knitter. It is processed by a spinning mill in the south of Peru to become one of the luxurious knitting yarns by Amano: blended with silk, merino or cashmere or pure as Baby or Imperial Alpaca in gorgeous, vibrant colors inspired by the textile traditions of South America.

Hortensien
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
Hydrangeas (German: Hortensien) are little wonders of color: In summer, they blossom white, pink or baby blue, but their true beauty shows in fall, when the petals assume dark purple, blue and grayish tones that look just fascinating. This color play was the inspiration for our club color, and this design: Starting with two identical triangles in garter stitch, you will later connect them via a pretty lace panel, resulting in a special shape that is a delight to wear. The pattern for the lace insert is provided as written-out instructions and as a chart. Find the beautiful "Vivacious 4-ply" by Fyberspates that we used for the sample here in Strickmich! Shop.

Traumstrand
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
When I saw the beautiful color combination that our dyer Maike suggested for the first Strickmich! Club shipment of 2019, it immediately made me think of shimmering waters, surrounded by bright green palm trees on a sandy and sunny beach – a “Traumstrand” (German: dream beach) indeed! So my design became a relaxing, beautiful ocean of garter stitch in a vibrant teal combined with a simple and classic lace pattern reminiscent of the structure of palm leaves in spring green. The result is a fairly symmetric shawl in a new shape with two tips that will have you dream of days at the beach every time you wear it!

Brickless
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
“Brickless” was designed for the Miss Babs 2012 Knitting Tour, and was exclusive to the members of the Tour for six months. Berlin in Winter is colder than most other big German cities – when travelling there, a big, cozy shawlette like this will come in handy! The beautiful colors are reminiscent of bright city lights in dark winter nights. The shape of the shawlette is an asymmetrical, long triangle, formed by rows that are getting longer and longer as you go. They are worked in different simple, but very effective patterns that make them look a little like a skyline of tall houses. These skyscrapers are not built with bricks, but concrete and steel – hence the name, „Brickless“. And also: No more bricks in the wall that used to divide Berlin.The pattern "Brickless" is part of Martina Behm´s book "The Hitchhiker Collection".
