Fabulous lace - glorious color!
Each Diamond Fantasy Shawl Kit contains:
Merino 2/6: 100% merino wool, 650m/710.84yds; 230g/8.11oz
Sivia Harding's complete 6-page pattern for her Diamond Fantasy Scarf or Shawl, including both line-by-line and charted instructions and full color photo of finished scarf (shown above - the shawl is about twice as large).
Suggested needle size: 3.75mm/US 5 circular needle (or size to achieve correct gauge) for shawl body; 5mm/US 8 double pointed needles for I-cord edging
Need needles? We have them here.
We are so pleased to be able to offer a kit based on Sivia Harding's beautiful lacey shawl design. Sivia is a modern fiber artist whose designs combine an exquisite use of lace with an enthusiasm that is like a fresh breeze on a sunny morning. Her Diamond Fantasy Shawl (a larger verion of the Diamond Fantasy Scarf, shown above) is a great place to start if you have never knit a lace garment before -- if you are an old hand at lace knitting, you'll love her exuberent use of the pattern, and the novel design which has you knitting the lace edge as you go along. The best part, of course, is that when you're done, you can wrap yourself in a filigree of color!
