Had a lovely day today in Penrith with friends, mooching around wool & sewing shops! Bought some wonderful Rowan Kidsilk Haze, the colour matches my glasses perfectly,
Have written up a pattern for a Shetland Inspired Scarf, it uses a basic lace design, which in Estonian lace knitting is called a small strawberry or in The Shetlands is called a roundel, for the body & has a scalloped lace edging grafted on afterwards, am quite pleased with it, have knitted it in 100% lambswool, which you could dye a different colour maybe...


or you could knit with a different yarn such as mohair
I learnt the grafting technique on a lace knitting course at Higham Hall, which is so easy & I now use for everything, so much easier than kitchener stitch.
