These lovely lace pieces are equally comfortable with jeans or your best dress. They require between 500-800 yds of DK weight fiber – linen, cotton, merino – whatever you like.

Summer
Knit-a-Long

Our next KAL is Summer Flies, a lovely, lacey shawl to accessorize your summer wardrobe.
Summer Flies is a great pattern for adventurous advanced beginners who want to learn lace as well as more experienced knitters. The pattern stitches flow beautifully in solid or variegated yarns; a terrific choice for lighter fiber yarns in the cotton/linen/rayon family.
The pattern is a free download from Ravelry. Stop by the shop to see the store sample and the list of recommended yarns.
You can knit-a-long with us at any of our Sit'n Knits: Tuesdays, 12:00 - 2:00 pm, Thursdays 6:00 - 8:00 pm, and Saturdays, 1L00 - 3:00 pm.
