The promise of yarn, a good idea, needles and time...

Time for a rematch...

Last year we held a Knit-a-Long for a Hap, and we revisit it this year. Because one can never have too many Haps!

Playing with colour, finishing the one from last year or now that you know how it works, it's just plain fun to make another.

Perhaps even a finer version than last time!
Or, you've found a hidden stash of some nice wool and instead of knitting another sweater, make a Hap in a single colour.

You know you want too...

Give yourself a challenge and take on a new skill: lace in every row. Less tv, more focus, great results.

Making a Point

A triangular Hap, or a Point, can be made with a bit more lace and finer yarn too.
And playing with size can make all the difference.
There is template for you to play with your own color choices.

Triangles

A triangle is rewarding to knit, in so many ways. Personally, I have only designed one shawl that's knit bottom - up, the majority is worked top - down.
A true benefit of a triangle is that it is not set in shape. It can be a central point, but the centre can be way off to one side too!
Or insert a part in the centre, like a Faroese shawl, to add interest.
Colours work always very well with a triangle, the lace can really benefit from a small splash!

    Across the Beach

    This is knit bottom-up. I had too, otherwise those gorgeous shells would not come out so well.
    The original is not so large, it was knit in a fine grey silk.
    Adjust the needlesize to make it bigger.

  • indigo blue and white Lund, made by MoniqueB

    Lund

    This shawl is worked in 3 directions and yet still pretty doable.
    The centre is plain and the border is very pretty.
    The edge is then added and makes it complete.
    Give it a try!

  • Bloesem

    The widest shawl I designed so far!
    But, it can be cropped, and worked in other yarns and at other gauges too. Easy peasy, colourful and fluffy!
    Perfect for a beginner in (Shetland) lace.

Rectangles

There is a lot you can put into a rectangle to make it quite interesting to knit. With a more direct result, satisfaction is certainly a key component.
The centres can be very becoming with pretty little designs, there are plenty of variations!

Effective and beautiful!
