I’m pleased to announce that Chrysalis is now available for purchase at the Sanguine Gryphon’s Etsy Shop. Chrysalis is a versatile wrap that can be worn multiple ways dependent on your mood and your style. It is worked in a circular brioche rib, with a spiraling pattern providing visual and technical interest. This piece is worked in Gryphon’s gorgeous cashmere and silk yarn, Gaia, in the Turk’s Cap colorway.
Many thanks Gryphon, for your interest in my design, your kind support throughout the process and the enjoyment of working with such a lovely yarn - What a positive experience! Read more about my impressions of the yarn here.
I’m sure you can tell by my uncharacteristic brevity that I’m a bit at a loss for words…. Just very, very pleased!

Another stunning design! It’s now in my Ravelry queue. I need to grow another set of arms to keep up with my knitting list.

very lovely!
the yarn seems to switch colors in different light… that makes it very interesting.
now i have to find out what’s a brioche rib…. don’t think it has something to do with a french cake? no?

Bravo, Mel! I like the modeled shots that Gryphon got as much as I like the ones you took, and that’s quite a feat!

What a lovely design! The stitch pattern looks very interesting. I’ve never worked anything a brioche stitch, but I thought you couldn’t do the brioche stitch in the round? (I think I read that somewhere and I don’t know enough about brioche stitch to know why it wouldn’t work.)
