Ceili Shawl

This one is special. I have no idea why, but this particular shawl speaks to me. Of Spring and Flowers, Light, Sunshine, and Hope. Of course, it helps that the photography emphasizes that, but I digress...

Ceili Shawl is a lovely, soft piece with a stunning panel of lace that surrounds the border, as well as travels up to the back neck. It is worked flat, from the bottom, with a delightful combination of eyelets and cables. The result is almost ethereal, like a beautiful dance of Springtime fairies.

SPECIAL PRICE: To celebrate Ceili Shawl’s grand introduction, get it for only $4.50 (That’s $1.50 off regular price)! No Coupon Code Needed - discount is taken off automatically! Sale ends at midnight Mountain Time on April 13th.

Marietta Stole

I am so excited to announce the release of a new design, published in collaboration with Sweet Georgia Yarns - Marietta Stole made her debut today!

Marietta Stole

Something lovely and soft, silky and lacy… that’s the Marietta. Deceptively easy, with eyelets and decreases flowing into a cable-like pattern, this piece is an absolute must for dressing up or winding down. The same was knit in Sweet Georgia's CashSilk Lace, which is a delicious yarn that flows so delicately and beautifully across the needles. As usual, I have included both charted and written instructions to accommodate all levels of knitters.

I am also thrilled about the photography! You've gotta give me a hand for that - I definitely think my style is becoming clear and my skills improving, don't you? It helps to have a stunning model (thanks, Amy!!). 

Ok, back to the pattern. Here's the knitty gritty....
