Lucille


I designed Lucille for the June installment of the Lace Lovers Club and now its available to non-club members and even better, this weekend its free. From Monday it'll be £3.


Lucille takes one skein of sock yarn but make sure your skein has 400m as you will need the full skein. The club sample was knitted in Exotic Sock in an un-dyed grey colourway which is beautiful and elegant. Exotic Sock is in the shop now. Silky Camel 4ply/Sock would also be a good choice 


This shawl is worked from the top down with lots of stocking stitch while you get used to the shaping. Then work a diamond lace pattern and finish off with a delicate crochet chain cast off (demo video here). If you prefer you can do a stretchy cast off.



The Lace Lovers Club is currently on a break but the Little Luxuries Club is similar but runs over 4 months. There are still a few spaces left but I'm closing sign ups on Monday morning (or earlier if its full).
