This is a large but lightweight shawl in a fairly complicated lace pattern, so it's best suited to experienced lace knitters or knitters with less experience and lots of enthusiasm. I've knitted it twice and still adore the rose trellis stitch pattern. Download the revised PDF with new! improved! charts and directions.
Sweaters
- Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
Doll Knits
- A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.
Socks and small knits
- These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Absolutely stunning work! As soon as the needles are free, I'll be working on this for my very picky grandmother. She will love this! Thank you for making it available. Best regards.

Catherine, it is a beautiful shawl, thank you so much for the pattern! I have been knitting away on it for a week or so now, and am stuck at Row 66 on Chart B. The problem appears to be at the beginning of the row. There should be 15 stitches (after the 7 garter stitch), but no matter what I do, I end up with 16 stitches. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give!
