In November 2016, 7 months after the death of our beloved Lena, we adopted a cat from Spain called Pepsi. She was 5.5 months old at the time. She turned out to be just what my husband and I needed, a cute, cheeky, black cat that loves to sit on our shoulders while we walk through the house – there must be a parrot somewhere in her heritage!<\/p>\n

We still miss Lena every day, but life is so much better now that we have Pepsi.
\nFive months later, her sister Orangina moved in with us as well.<\/p>\n

For this shawl, I\u2019ve designed the stitch patterns for the body myself, following Naomi Parkhursts tutorials on how to embed a secret code in your patterns. Want to check it out yourself? Take a look here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The words I\u2019ve encoded are Pepsi and the German words for cheeky, cute and black – the perfect tribute to our little baby, and maybe to your pet as well!<\/p>\n

Today, the resulting shawl went live<\/a> and I really hope you like it!<\/p>\n

To help you make this shawl, I’ve also created two new youtube videos!<\/p>\n

My husband’s birthday is in a week and he asked for a silk scarf in a herringbone stitch. I think he has chosen a love, elegant stitch and the Lana Grossa yarn is just awesome! If you’d like to test the scarf, you can do so in my Ravelry group \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Don’t feel like making a scarf? If you’re German speaking, you can also sign up for the test for Gemma’s Cowl in a few days!<\/p>\n

Drop me a message or keep an eye on my Ravelry group<\/a> if you want to test!<\/p>\n

Or you can wait for a few more days when I will introduce you to my new shawl, Fibonacci’s Great Grandmother – I’ll be looking for testers for that one soon!<\/p>\n

See you next time! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
