Second Pattern of Strickmich! Club 2017
His music was unique, executed with perfection, sometimes it took a little to get used to, but some of it found its way straight into your ears and your legs: Prince. Was it rock or soul? Funk or pop? Probably everything all at once. He just did what he liked, and that included his stage outfits: Ruffles, suspenders, naked legs, head scarves, tailored suit – Prince did not care about any kind of stereotype. When he died in spring 2016 at only 57 years of age, the world lost one of its most inventive musicians. A man who showed us that the most impressive works of art are created outside the box. Prince was especially fond of the color purple: His most famous album was “Purple Rain”, and on every album cover, you could find artwork with at least a small element in this color. So maybe he would have liked the yarn of this club shipment as well: green and purple sprinkles on a silver-shimmering base combined with a glowing semi-solid purple. The “Plum Leaf” wrap also mirrors Prince’s love of paisley patterns which are derived from leaf shapes: Starting with an oversized stylized leaf, you will knit an asymmetric stole that lets the variegated yarn shine prettily.
Yarn used for the sample: "Aurora" by Das Mondschaf.
