One of my purchases from Winter Woolfest 2019 is already hopping into my knitting queue. The Fade has been around for what seems like forever now and just about every knitter has faded something. I’m not generally a bandwagon knitter and take awhile to come around to a trend. But I have been feeling the pull of Free Your Fade from Andrea Mowry. This is more my speed as it’s only three skeins so not as large of a time commitment as some of the others. I just don’t get enough knitting time to spend months and months on the same thing. I would explode. Plus this shawl comes in Fingering and DK. And I just so happen to have a pretty neat fade in some Sport weight yarn.
From left to right is my One Twisted Tree Lavish sport in the chaotic neutral, followed by the Leon Alexander DK in the Oh La La color and lastly some Anzula Ava sport in the Raspberry color. I think these make a nice shift with a tonal solid on either side with a speckle in the middle. No clue when I will get to this one but I have the pattern purchases and yarn all kitted up together just waiting for the Perfect cast on day.
Happy Knitting

This sounds interesting – love the raspberry! What is The Fade, though?
It’s the nebulous trend in the knitting world of all things faded as initiated by pattern designer Andrea Mowry.
That will be gorgeous! I haven’t done a proper fade yet either; I like the idea of the smaller version.
I like the idea of a smaller fade. I skipped a KAL with my knitting group because I couldn’t bring myself to make something that big that I would never use. A smaller DK version sounds right up my alley.
Like you, I seem to take forever to come around to a trend. I think I’ll skip the fade altogether and live vicariously through you.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see your Fade!
Love the colors
