| The Knitter's Guide to Hand Dyed and Variegated Yarns is now available!!! To celebrate the book, I am offering this free shawl pattern , The Lace Rim Shawl (click for pdf) or see more views here. It is dessigned in the magnificent color Lorna's Purple Mustang by Lorna's Laces I've owned my fun Mustang since November 2001. She was originally dark green but I recently had her painted my favorite color. For my fellow Mustang lovers, she is an August 65 baby (not quite a 64-1/2), convertible, 289, dual exhaust, 4 speed, 2 barrel, all original (except for color). She runs like a dream, loves going topless and Lorna drives her fast and hard...but safely! Now, about the shawl: The shape is a simple semi-circle that starts at the neck with just a few stitches at the neck. Concentric eyelets grown larger as the shawl grows. The simple lace design allows the colors to show off and the colors spread out perfectly because the shawl is constantly changing number of stitches--no pooling! Learn more about working successfully with hand dyed yarns in Lorna's book. See if I'm coming to a shop near you for a book signing, or ask your shop if they'd invite me! I'd love to autograph yours! |
