What do you do when you want to make a shawl in shades of blue? There are many possible routes to take, but I decided on revisiting monochrome Corris. It is a great way to achieve a subtle interplay of colors.

What do you do when you want to make a shawl in shades of blue? There are many possible routes to take, but I decided on revisiting monochrome Corris. It is a great way to achieve a subtle interplay of colors.
Last spring, I made a shawl in Turned Taquete based on the Fibonacci sequence. When my mother saw this shawl, she said she would like one in a different color combination. I was happy to comply, but made one additional little change besides the color choice.
Perhaps one of the most well-known mathematical concepts in the world of handcrafts is the Fibonacci sequence.In one of my latest hand weaving projects, I used the Fibonacci sequence to design a wavelike pattern.
Last year, I made a blanket covered in four-leaf clovers for my sister. Earlier this year, I decided to continue along this line and make a shawl with even more lucky clovers for her birthday.
At the end of 2020, I made some shawls for my sister, niece and nephew. Of course, I could not leave out my brother-in-law, so I asked him if he wanted a shawl as well. He was enthusiastic about this idea and we quickly decided on a shawl with blue shades and round shapes. Not unlike the shawl I made for his son.
