With that in mind, we are going to start our Lace Kal. Now this isn’t going to be like a regular KAL where there is just one pattern for you to do. As a mater of fact, there will be three, all of different complexities. Since your experiences may differ, you can do the one that you like and that fits your ability the best.\u00a0 Unfortunately I haven’t had time to design 3 patterns so I have searched the Internet to find three that I think would be suitable for this. While they were all free patterns, they are being credited to the designer or site where I got them from. Whichever one you choose to do, please take a moment to go to their site and leave a comment on the designer’s blog if they have one. I am sure they will appreciate it. Here we go:<\/p>\n
Beginner …<\/p>\n
Palm Fronds Shawl by Mariana<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the perfect shawl to get your feet wet in kitting lace. It is a simple four row repeat pattern that you will memorize in no time and be able to do almost anywhere. The effect is stunning though as you can see by the picture.<\/p>\n Mariana has a blog and the pattern can be found here: Mariana Knits<\/a><\/p>\n Intermediate …<\/p>\n Anthemion by Miriam Felton<\/strong><\/p>\n Miriam posted this pattern on Knitty.com and you can find it there by searching for the name or by clicking on the link for the pdf download of the pattern.<\/p>\n \n Advanced …<\/p>\n Rose Trellis Shawl by Catherine Devine<\/strong><\/p>\n A glamorous and absolutely stunning shawl suitable for an evening at the opera, I found this pattern during a search online for shawl patterns. Catherine has a blog here<\/a> which is where I found this pattern. Please be sure to stop by and let her know how much you like it and appreciate that she put it out there for free.<\/p>\n So there you have it. It would be great if you posted a comment to let everybody know (and help you set a goal) which one you were going to do. This KAL will go for a month so that you’ll have enough time to knit it and also still get a few weeks of great fall weather in which to wear it. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere you’ll get even more wearing time out of it as you’ll be heading into spring. I plan on sending out a personal thanks to the designers of these three patterns but would like to remind you once more to do so yourself for whichever one you choose. Good luck everybody and remember that you can post comments on here and send pictures to show how it’s going. As always, you can contact me by email if you have any questions along the way.<\/p>\n Hugzzz \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it’s time to see what you have learned with the lace.
