I call it a scarf, but Birdsfoot Fern could just as easily be worn as a shoulder shawl. I’m not sure exactly when I knit this, sometime during the summer when I was waiting for yarn for a different project to arrive. The pattern is now for sale, and The Sanguine Gryphon even dyed up [...]

I have two new lace patterns to share. They both use the same base stitch, an old Shetland lace border called Clematis. The first pattern, Clematis, is a triangular shawl that starts with the point and works its way up both sides as the center grows into a cuddly garter stitch center, and ends with [...]

Lalique is a lacy little cardigan I designed for The Sanguine Gryphon’s Spring 2011 Collection. I don’t know that you have been keeping track at all, but this was the secret project I worked on all of January this year.

I used a little less than 400 yards of sock yarn to knit up this quick scarf (or you might wear it as a shoulder shawl). The cast on is only 7 stitches. You knit back and forth on rows no more than 56 sts wide, and eventually bind off 6 stitches. The lacy border [...]

The pattern includes both written and charted [...]

I have a new lace shawl pattern out; just released it today. It’s called In the Starlight. It’s a triangular shawl, knit from the center top. It’s a pretty quick knit. All the ws rows are k2, purl across, k2, so they’re truly rest rows. The stitch instructions are charted only. My test knitter and [...]

I have a new lace design that I thought I might share with you. It’s called Diamanten. The pattern is written up for both scarf and shawl, and can be easily modified for anything in between. It’s knit from the cast on edge straight through to the bind off edge. Both charted and written stitch [...]

I finished up a new shawl the other day. It’s called Thornbury. It’s knit on the bias — you cast on just 4 stitches, increase on both sides for a while, work the center bit, then decrease both sides toward the opposite corner, where you end up binding off just 4 stitches. There are more [...]
