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

Kitten...

The summer is coming. Time for some lighter and some quicker knits!
And of course, still with some lace in it.

This Kitten shawl is celebrating it's 10y anniversary in August. Time to make it again, as the original is in hands of the lady with 7 cats (at least, back then... now it's like 4 or 5, sadly).

Beautiful blue, a slightly variegated yarn will also work very well. The cresent shape can handle a lot!
Or, an attractive silver lining across the edge!

Give it a try! And wear it in the city to the café or at home, sipping tea.

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!

Give me an angle!

  • 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.

    Bloesem 

  • Muness

    A very good starter for basic lace. One of my very first designs, still going strong. Top-down with no added edge.
    Very convenient for daily use and nice in a variegated yarn too.

  • Singel

    Singel, named after the street in Amsterdam where you can buy flowers / bulbs and walk along the canal. A favorite, good size and so wide, you can wrap it around comfortably.

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!

    Equilibrium

    What can I say, I love me a rectangle. The patterns come out so well, delicate, elegant.
    Beware, the very wide edge is worth all the effort.

  • Fortresse

    This silk shawl starts easy, then grows lace and ends up in a wavy edge.
    Excellent for daily use, and designed so you don't have to attach anything anymore.

  • Blyde

    oooooh, so delicate and fine. This is a true ring shawl. It takes all your attention, and when it's done, others want to see it too!

  • Sunnborg

    A wide and elegant shawl, with classic Shetland Lace patterns. Very fine knit and generously sized. Lots to enjoy with this one!

  • Flowerchild

    I am a flowerchild, growing up in the 70's. I like flowers, they bring so much. I put as many in as I could.
    An eye catcher indeed.
