There is a new collection under way. The Fairy Tale Lace ebook.
The Fairy Tale Lace ebook contains 7 shawl patterns. The first pattern is available immediately, and subsequent patterns will be added over time, during the period August 2013-March 2014. You will receive an email notice each time an update is available. Please click on the link and download the latest version of the ebook. Each update will include all the patterns released to date.
The first pattern in the collection is the Cheshire Cat Shawl.
The Cheshire Cat first appeared in A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tounge (1788) by Francis Grose, but was popularized as a fictional cat in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. It was originally used in the phrase “he grins like a Cheshire cat” which meant someone who shows his teeth and gums in laughing.
The body of the shawl shows the stripes of the cat, and the overall shape is his grin.
The patterns uses 2 skeins of sock yarn, one each in two contrasting colours. I used indigodragonfly Merino Sock.
The ebook is available for $20.
I just love this shawl, and look forward to updates in the eBook throughout the coming months! <3
