The Cherty Shawlette, a garter and stockinette lace shawl, is part of the Indie Giftalong. It’s a quick knit for a last-minute gift, worked in just one skein of Elemental Affects Civility merino-silk yarn.
For those of you celebrating the holidays, there aren’t many shopping days left. To help with those last minute presents, we have gift certificates available in any amount. Get one for the knitter on your shopping list or add one to your own wish list.
Another nice gift. . . Yarn Knot Socks. Start the new year with a flurry of sock knitting. Subscriptions are still open, but space is limited.
I have just released my newest design – “Patchwork Mittens”. A great first intarsia project with just one join per row. The hands of these mittens are knit flat – the seam is part of the patchwork design! The thumbs are knit seamlessly in the round. And no need to limit yourself to just 2 colors. Use up some stash and make some for everyone in the family! And this pattern is part of the Indie Design Gift-A-Long on Ravelry, so you can join us in the knit-a-long and play games and win prizes while you knit your mittens – until the end of 2014.

Was her name Desiderata? Maybe it was Ermengarda? Or it could have been something ending in -perga, like her sisters Anselperga, Adelperga and Liutperga? Regardless of what he called her, Charlemagne (who was also known as Karolus Maximus, Karl der Große, and Charles the Great) called his first queen “wife” for only a short time. One thing is certain: she was known to be a true beauty. Because she was beautiful, her name must have been as well. It had to have been. Well, I hope so, anyway, because I refuse to name this lovely lace shawl Ermengarda.
Shawl starts at the center top with a tab cast on. The number of stitches increases with every row from there to the bind off edge. There’s a bit of stockinette at the top, but not all that much, as I’m easily bored when I know the fun lace work is coming, so most of this design’s 117 rows are lace. The lace pattern is easy to knit, every wrong-side row throughout the design is the same, and the overall pattern easy to work, especially once you find your rhythm.
You will need 500 yards fingering weight yarn, US 6 (4 mm) knitting needles, or size required for gauge, and a yarn needle. Stitch markers are optional. Skills: k2tog, ssk, p2tog, yo, s1-k2tog-psso, k1-yo-k1 in same stitch, tab cast on. Stitch instructions are both charted and written.
