Places Available on 22 February for Half-Moon Shawl Course
Monday 10th February 2014
Maybe it’s the bad weather, but I have had two cancellations for my course on 22 February and another person has warned me that they may also be unable to come. Fear not, the course is still running, but it’d be lovely to fill one or two of the places. View or book
here.
If you fancy an antidote to the wet and miserable weather and you are free on 22 February, this is what we will be making:
Well, it’s one of the options. There are two basic designs for choose from, one of which, like the one above, can be knitted as a colourwash piece; or you can knit it in one shade of Kidsilk Haze only. This design, like all half moons, has ‘segments’, but in this shawl the segments form a curving, slightly swirling shape:
The other option available to knit on the day is another half moon shape, but with the segments spaced in perfect triangle shapes – i.e., no swirl:
It has sub-divisions, adding extra beading at about the half-way stage:
And a little frothy finish:
The swirling shawl, despite perhaps looking more complex, is the easier knit though both are simple enough. The swirly one does not use stitch markers – I designed it specifically for people who just don’t get along with using stitch markers. The symmetrical one, however, does use 8 or 16 depending on how ‘beady’ you want to make it. I used 16.
Both designs can also be knitted in a DK yarn, for a baby shawl or just because they look great in Pure Wool DK or Baby Merino Silk DK:
If you come to the course, your yarn and beads are included. As it some of this:
It would be lovely to see you here.
