It's time to take a closer look at the design work of Zsuzsa Kiss of Soft Rainbow Designs. Earlier this year I introduced her Time for Coffee Shawl and it was received with much fanfare! I now have the pleasure of introducing two new shawl patterns and a Giveaway! 

Time for Coffee

The Winner of this Giveaway will receive the Time for Coffee Shawl pdf pattern and a skein of Kauni Effektgarn, (160 grams 704 yards) in the color of their choice.

Meet Zsuzsa Kiss: Kiss is a Hungarian-born knitter and designer who lives with her husband and 3 daughters in a small town near Zürich.   Having learned the basics of needlecraft as a child she rediscovered knitting when she moved to Switzerland. After the first, simpler garments she soon learned how to knit lace and moved on to more challenging pieces. 

Being naturally curious and loving challenges she quickly became interested in patterns, which allowed her to create her own designs.

When friends liked the garments she designed and kept asking for the pattern, she decided to take designing more seriously. What started as a hobby became work, and what a fitting one. Her first pattern was published in 2012, and in the next year her first pattern for a magazine was also published, in the winter issue of “Knit Now.”

Things speeded up after this and apart from her existing 26 designs on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/designers/zsuzsa-kiss).  Zsuzsa loves challenges and discovering new areas in knitting. She produces her own range of hand-dyed yarns and has recently taken up spinning too. Getting to know all crafts connected to knitting is giving her an ever-expanding freedom to grow as a designer.

Winter in the Village

A triangular shawl is timeless piece, especially if it is full of lace and Winter in the Village is a classic. For those wanting a more modern look, drape it around your neck like a kerchief.  The shawl, which is available in two sizes, has a top-down construction; the pattern includes both written instructions and a chart.  

Imola

And the elegant Imola Stole features a beautiful diamond pattern.  It is started with a provisional cast on and knit from the middle sideways.
