Zelda Shawl

Well, it's been a long and busy year since I last posted (and more on that in later posts), but what better way to kick things off again than to introduce a new pattern?


Flapper girl?

Inspired by the Art Deco movement and flapper dresses, Zelda has a simple beaded body flowing into a  a heavily beaded lace edging. It's available in two sizes, either of which can be done with a standard 100g skein of laceweight. More details can be found on the Ravelry page.

English Rose?
I'm so proud that it's finally up and out there (although I am now resigned to getting nothing done over the next couple of days as I Rav-stalk myself obsessively - anyone else do that?) I am so grateful to my wonderful knitting friends who have given me so much support, especially to my test knitter Kate's Twirl who wrote a fabulous blog post about Zelda, with lots of helpful tips and tricks, and my eagle-eyed tech editor Rachel.
