ElleMyra is Born!

For a long time, I have been an admirer of the work of Myra Wood. Our paths have crossed over the last few years at different fiber events and finally, just a few short months ago, we got a chance to sit down and have lunch together.

Since that day, it has been like discovering a long lost friend - more like a long lost sister. Inevitably, we started consulting on each others' designs in progress.

And that led to collaboration.

We discovered that we work very well together! We have equal and complimentary skills and aesthetics! We both love feminine and sexy! We both love drapy and flattering. We both thrill to texture and color. We both insist on impeccable and classy. We both feel that you can't embellish too much!

We decided to design and write patterns together. We are thrilled to present our first collaboration, the ElleMyra Shrug!

Please let me know what you think!

Wow! What an excellent design combo you two make! Love the shrug. I'll bet it would look great in many types of yarns!

Very Nice work! I don't think you sleep, you must knit and create 24/7.

This is gorgeous. It would be great to see in other yarns - I think the varigated yarns really speak to this pattern.

Cheers,
Ellen
