Menage à Trois: it's a shawl!

When I started designing this shawl, I wanted to do something completely different from all the shawls I had already knitted to that point. I do have to admit that I am often a bit bored with the traditional construction of this accessory type: All to often we end up repeating the same motif in ever increasing rows that take hours to complete!
So here I knew right from the beginning, that I wanted to play around and to “allow” myself to work in all possible directions and to change things up as much as possible - without really getting to the point to work endless rows for days...

The crazy “Banana Leaf” colour of Nature’s Luxury Farouche yarn was the first I got, years ago. I knew that this colour would work best as an accessory (at least in my own wardrobe) but I had had quite some difficulties in deciding what to do with it and how to proceed.
I found that is somehow was too shiny, too soft and well... too green!

So, almost 2 years later and the next time when I saw the lovely couple behind the brand - I knew that I had to pair the Banana Leaf with some matte complimentary colours, to allow the Farouche to do its thing with support in all its grandeur. Two Parisienne yarns were the perfect choice for this endeavour and the Menage à Trois project was born that instant.
