I only have a few minutes to write this morning before I leave to visit a sister. (I kind of hate that I don’t have time to just maunder on about knitting and yarn anymore. It seems I always have an agenda these days and that’s not what I want this blog to be!)
Anyway, I wanted to remind you of the shawl class that’s starting next weekend. Karen Walter, who is a master knitter at shawls and lace (and most other things!), is teaching the Red Rock Canyon Shawl, designed by Romi Hill. It’s a beauty, skillfully using two colors to build a simple foundation for the beautiful embossed lace
that morphs into dips and swoops and finishes with an outstanding picot border.
It’s a challenging knit, but it works into the serious lace gradually, letting you get a feel for the yarn and needles working together before you have to concentrate on the twisted stitches that make the lace pop.
Check out the many projects on Ravelry, and then check out these fabulous color combinations that we found just messing around for a few minutes one afternoon.
Come find your own, learn something new, challenge yourself!
Meanwhile, if you have something that you’d like to learn this spring and summer, shoot an email to me at info@yarngal.com. I’d love to have your thoughts.
