Kathy Shawl


A friend Kate sent me a book where there were the instructions to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's Pi shawl. Based on this idea of increasing stitches every few rows  I made this shawl thinking of her.




Kathy Shawl.

I used size 4mm dp needles then a circular needle as size increased.
100g medium weight baby yarn for this shawl.

6-8: Knit.

Repeat rounds 5-8 for 16 times.

Start sideways lace edging: with each of the last ssk on the rows you will be binding off one of the stitches from the circular needle. I used a dp to make turning easier.


Cast on 8sts.

Belle

I have been busy working on uploading a new pattern today. I decided to call the dress "Belle" like one of my Disney Animator dolls. As usual it is available on Ravelry.


Disney Animator pattern



It is a pretty lacy dress which is relatively quick and easy to make. Knit flat topdown with a simple lace pattern on the skirt. 

Animator Belle


These dolls are so much fun to dress. It can become addictive.

Now I need to start working on some other projects though! Be back soon!
