Renaissance Poncho or Shawl

with Jane Elliott

Tuesdays,

May 29, June 12, June 26, July 10

6:30-9:00 pm

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. The shawl is knitted on a circular needle; the poncho can be knitted in 2 pieces on straight needles or with the circular method (directions for both are provided in the pattern). Jane breaks down the simple yet complex-looking lace pattern for you.

                                Cost: $110

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.
