Things & Ideas
I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesdays as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see other WIP Wednesdays … here.
THING(s) have been moving and IDEAS(!) have been brewing lately. (Which is great, because there was a bit of stuckifyedness there for a bit.)
Yarn has been balled.
Swatches have been knit.
An old idea has been picked back up again.
Words have been written.
(Don’t worry, there are k2togs that go into that chart. I “sketch” by charting out the pattern with yarn overs, and adding the decreases in later, this chart isn’t quite done yet.)
And charted.
Shawls have been blocked.
Patterns sent to the tech editor.
Well damn.

by about an inch 🙂

Elegant. Delicate. Luxurious.
The shawl ghosts across the shoulders, and triangles mirror themselves to create this geometric stitch pattern.
This is a simple rectangular shawl with a crisp clear stitch pattern, and a generous garter stitch border. Pair it with a simple black dress, and a beautiful shawl pin, to make it the epitome of understated elegance.
Knit in one piece from cast on to bind off, this pattern uses one skein of lace weight yarn to create a warm but delicate shawl, designed to stun. The vertical lines of the stitch pattern draw the eye all the way up the shawl, while the understated garter border holds it all together.
