Dreams: A Knitting Collection Inspired by Salvador Dali, Featuring Luxurious Zen Yarn Garden Cashmere Blends

Zen Yarn Garden's beautifully dyed and luxurious cashmere yarn was the motivation behind this collection inspired by Salvador Dali. I remember my first visit to the Hirshorn museum in Washington DC at the age of 13 and the impact that Dali's work had on my life. It was akin to viewing life through a lens that distorted reality and yet preserved it. Growing up within traveling distance of DC enabled me to appreciate and value the work of world-reknowned artists and bask in their beauty and point of view. Dali's work in particular has beauty with a hard edge, which cuts into your preconceived notions and alters your perceptions. He was always innovating and evolving his art and became known world wide, every artist's dream. Roxanne and Neville Yeun's complex and deeply nuanced colors under the Zen Yarn Garden label lead to knit objects that have depth and beauty, and the materials are sublime to work with. Dali's dark and moody colors were a natural fit and each project explores the relationship between color and techinique. The original mood board was created around Paysage aux papillons and as the book project came into production other Dali works organically led to inspiration. Some recommended works for further study are Butterfly Ship, Swans Reflecting Elephants, The Elephants, and Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegrante a Second Before Awakening. Dreams features three sweaters, two hats, four 2 skein shawls and 3 one skein shawls. The median yardage is approximately 550 yards / 5o5 meters. This collection has been professionally tech edited, with each project carefully test knit to ensure accuracy. Please check fickleknitter.com/errata for updates. A special thank you to Roxanne Yeun, Pat Sullivan, Suzanne Nielsen, Tracey Davidson, Lisa Bacon, Melissa Jill , Meghan Jackson, Kate Poe, Cece Burrows, and Tracy Harris for all your contributions and support of this project.

PATTERN NOTES

This shawl is constructed of a main body with a knit-on lace edging. The body is constructed in a traditional triangle method, beginning with Chart A using Color A, then moving to Chart B after there are 25 sts. The knit-on edging begins with Chart C, using Color B, working to the marked center stitch of the body. Short rows are used to shape the edging around the center point of the body. Written instructions are provided for all charts, so you may work from the charts or the written instructions. For more information on knitted lace triangle construction,see www.fickleknitter. com/archives/2009/12/knitted-lacetriangle-construction-by-michellemiller.htm.

BIND OFF

TheI-cordedgethatyou havebeen working all along will lead seamlessly into theI-cord bindoffdescribed here! K2, k2tog tbl, transfer 3 stitches back to the left needle. Repeat this process until there are a total of 6 stitches remaining. Cut yarn leaving at least a 6" tail. Place thefirst3stitchesononedouble point needle and the remaining 3 stitches on a second double point needle. Turn the first double pointed needle so that the first stitch on it lines up with the last stitch on the second double point. Kitchener stitch these 6 stitches together. (This will make the bind off lead seamlessly into the edge!)
