Yayoi's Dream
|
From designer MarinJaKnits:
This shawl is named after Japanese artist Yayoi Kasuma. She is the top-selling female artist in the world. There is a documentary about her called Kusama: Infinity (2018) that tells her story. I found the film both interesting and profoundly sad. While brilliant, she struggled, as many women have, to be taken seriously in the art world. Today she is well recognized. At her artistic beginning in the 1950’s, this was not the case. You may enjoy learning about her and her work. The PIECE ITSELF… there is a dot & dash element and a polka dotted element to this patterning. I also really love how it looks on the wrong side. The different beginning. A V-neck start, of sorts, sits the shawl a little differently when you wear it both on your back or on your front. A fun little variation that I have not seen before. Quirky & function, a win!
The Original Colors kit comes with one skein of two colors of Urth 16 Fingering (100% extrafine merino, 220 yards per skein).
The 3027 + Walnut kit comes with one skein of Urth Uneek Fingering (100% extrafine merino, 435 yards per skein) and one skein of Urth Harvest Fingering (100% extrafine merino, 435 yards per skein).
Both kits come with a download of the pattern to your Ravelry library. Please provide your Ravelry username at checkout.
Not included in kit: size 4 circular knitting needle- 32" or longer is highly recommended, darning needle, and stitch makers (both fixed and removeable markers are recommended).
