This is my first test knit for Designs by Romi. The shawl pattern is named Merope and is one of a forthcoming set of seven small shawls, all named after the Pleiades.
Merope is available now as a single purchase or as part of the yet-to-be-completed e-book series
I shall keep today’s post brief as I am not really here, but elsewhere. I have bene busy and not had time to do much research f or this Thursday’s Thrill, but I thought that I would share with you this pattern that I discovered via reading one of the Knit/Crochet Blog Week posters yesterday. This is Cherrymakesstuff’s choice of inspirational pattern and I have to agree with Cherry about how wonderful it is…
I knocked this scarf up last year as a test for suitability for beginning lace knitters taking part in the All Shawl Together KAL. It made a useful stash buster
Very repetitive and mindless drop stitch pattern but worth the perseverance for a very wearable accessory. It offers so much warmth for so little weight

My first lace shawl was an Evelyn Clark, the Swallowtail (I have knitted that twice). This is my first return to Evelyn’s designs. I like this one even more than the Swallowtail and wonder why it has received so little interest in comparison.

Inspired by our recent snowfalls, there is a new project on the needles. It’s not going perfectly just yet, so I’ll not disclose too much in case it goes off to the frog pond never to return.
The good news is that it is simple (ish), perfectly beautiful (if I execute it correctly) and it comes from stash.
Brandywine is a special pattern – most of the sale price is donated to MSF.
Simply the most wearable of shawls; a garter stitch body is knitted from the point upwards, maximising use of yarn, with a stocking stitch lace border and point edging added as you go. It is reminiscent of Aestlight, but the construction is very different indeed.
I made mine from a stashed skein of Smooshy.
