Crystal Cascade

I feel like my blog has turned into a series of new design announcements and that every post advertises something and it's not what I want this blog to be. When I first started blogging I was just a knitters. I wasn't a designer or yarn dyer or knitting teacher. I started the blog to share my knitting with the world.

I am pretty proud of all my designs and I love sharing them with you. At the moment I've re-doing a lot of old patterns and trying to get some old magazine patterns published. 

'Crystal Cascade' was published nearly a year ago in Simply Knitting and I'm so pleased to make it available to you.

 It's a half hexagon shawl worked form the top down and features a diamond and flower lace pattern which ends in a scalloped edging.

 The shawl takes 100gr (800m/880yds) lace weight yarn. Its a thicker lace and not at all scary to knit with. The pattern has charts & written instructions.

 Fancy a beautiful shawl for a special spring/summer event? It'll look great with a special dress and you can see how great it looks with a casual top and jeans.

 You can buy Crystal Cascade on Ravelry and on Craftsy. Craftsy is a website for crafters which I only discovered fairly recently. Their pattern shop has just gone live and I've got a few of my patterns up already with more to come. Here's my Craftsy pattern shop. Craftsy is a great place if you're a multi-crafter.

I can't share any of my current knitting. I've just finished a deadline sweater which is blocking now so will have some sewing up to do over the weekend and I'm working on a very special lace shawl. On Sunday i'll either be working on my second sock or I've got an idea for a new shawl using the same stitch pattern as the sock and handwarmers i shared earlier in the week and I may do some swatching for that this weekend. Come back on Monday to find out what I do for my Sunday Knitting this week.

Have a lovely weekend x
