The. Snowflake. Shawl!

by

I’m an early riser. Anywhere between 5 and 6 AM my body just jumps out of bed. Usually takes my head a few minutes to catch up, look at the clock, argue with my body about what my eyes are seeing on the clock and finally, succombing to the fact that I am, indeed, awake.
This morning it wasn’t between 5 and 6 AM. It wasn’t even between 4 and 5 AM. It was 3 AM. Seriously, people. 3 AM!
And just what fueled this amazing feat of ambition that took me from horizontal to vertical in 2.6 seconds? The realization that:
I. Must. Knit. This!:

  1. I love your early morning saga, how fun! I am fairly slow in the morning, but I do sit cross-legged in bed and felt or knit, while I watch the news until nine 🙂
    This Winter Wonderland Shawl is exquisite and I wish I had the patience to make one 🙁

    I looked at a pattern, but there was now needle size?

  6. Hi there – I am a contributing writer for Australian Knitting magazine and wondered if you would give me permission to include the photo of the beautiful snowflake shawl in my article? regards Sue

  8. I stumbled across your blog while trying to find what different people thought of this shawl. Like you I am in a MUST KNIT THIS mode about it. I was wondering, did you ever make it?

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
