La Bien Aimée x Amy Christoffers - Pressed Flowers Shawl Bundle

The Verb team has completed two Pressed Flower Shawls using this bundle!

Shawn was the first to dive in, used La Belle Epoque and Yellow Brick Road to create the radiant gold colored shawl pictured, and raved about knitting it. And, they have also been wearing it constantly. We consider that a successful knit!

Shawn chose to cast-off a bit early, wanting a smaller shawl, reminiscent of a bandana, and adding a sweet, potent pop of color! While keeping the chill at bay. Shawn knit 4 repeats of the flower pattern. And completed the border as instructed. One of the things Shawn loves about their shawl, is that due to the nature of LBA's combination of ever so gentle speckles and gradations of colors within a single skein, each flower is unique as you knit. This little jog and jump makes it feel like taking a hike through a field of wild flowers on a Spring morning.

Kristine, then dove in, using Amege and Liesl. She said this color combination reminds her of violet pansies at dusk, when the sky turns a rich, velvety shade of blue. She knit through as much of the skeins possible and was able to create a larger shawl measuring 25" deep x 60" wide. She knit 4.5 repeats of the flower pattern and the border before running out of the main color (Amege). If you would like to knit a larger piece, please purchase an additional skein of Amege or the main color of your choice.

Though Shawn and Kristine used less yarn then called for in the pattern, they both ended up with beautiful shawls, and these samples demonstrate the variety that can be achieved! Also, while LBA Merino Singles are quite a bit thinner than Amy's original piece, Shawn and Kristine used the same needle size as Amy calls for in the pattern and everything turned out well. This is a great combination for those who would like a lighter weight shawl.

We have put together 5 color options of bundles for this shawl - one skein each - that mimic's the patterning of color found in Shawn and Kristine's shawls. Of course, we had to put together one option featuring the new custom LBA x Verb colorway: Day by the Bay!
