The Klee Scarf Kit

[x-posted at Two Pointy Sticks]

Colour has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it, I know that it has hold of me forever. That is the significance of this blessed moment. Colour and I are one..."

-- Paul Klee (1889-1940)



The expressionist artist renders less what the eye sees than what the heart and mind sense and feel. In this spirit, behold the building blocks of your own expressionist masterpiece in luxurious cashmere. Introducing...



One cashmere scarf kit. A world of possibilities.

The Mini-Klee:


The Large Klee:


Each kit includes 8 x 50 yd mini-skeins of Estelle (100% Italian sportweight cashmere) for the Large Klee scarf, or 8 x 25 yd mini-skeins of Estelle for the Mini Klee, in eight assorted colourways carefully selected to provide you with a rich, vibrant palette.

The Mini-Klee (pictured) measures 51" / 130cm long. The Large Klee (pictured) yields a scarf around 104" / 264cm long.




Pattern Directions:


This is the best part -- there aren't any! The examples of the Mini-Klee and Large Klee here are merely for inspiration. Cast on as few or as many stitches as you like and change colours, add accents as your whimsy moves you to create your own piece of unique wearable art!

Clapotis in Hotel California

With a sample of the 4-ply cashmere that is being spun expressly for me (or, more specifically, for me to pain for you), you could say I went a little... Clap-happy.

Thank God for spring, sunshine, a cool breeze and the chance to wear my second Clapotis (the first one being here and here), this time in colourway Hotel California:





Gotta love those waves...
