Swiss Silk Table Runner - Custom Dyed to Coordinate with Carpet

Beth W. sent a photo of the carpet in the foreground of the above picture, asking if Hand Maiden could custom dye some Swiss Silk to harmonize with the burgundy tones in the carpet.  Hand Maiden, of course, said ‘yes,’ and Beth began knitting just as soon as her rich, red silk arrived.

The results are so elegant, words fail.  Take a look at this close up view of the beading and tassels at the ends:

A true work of art!  Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Beth.  You may find your living room crowded with knitters wanting to get a closer view of your beautiful work.

Sandy S's Ashton Shawl in Fleece Artist BFL 2/8 - Polar Sea

Sandy S. sent us a photo of her beautiful Ashton Shawl, her most recent FO.  Aside from being simply gorgeous and showcasing her BFL 2/8 so well, the Ashton Shawl is also a FREE pattern!  The link to it goes to Ravelry where you can download it for yourself and start knitting!  Incidently, Sandy knit her Ashton Shawl (increased from the Shawlette) from a single skein of BFL 2/8 – how great is that?  You can find the Fleece Artist BFL 2/8 that you’ll love to wear here.

Thank you, Sandy!  We just love your Ashton!!!!
