Let's make lace...

Only 9 weeks to go until the anniversary of the Shetland Stars Square Shawl.
So unique, so one of a kind, such an heirloom.

Perhaps a practise piece can help you getting the skills and the patience for a large square.
Like "A Fine Lace Snack" for a quick training to improve your skills and helping to celebrate the art of Shetland Fine Lace.

Take your time to find a good yarn, and plenty of it. Rome wasn't built in 1 day.
And good things take time...

Blyde. This shawl has so many things going for it. It is so intricate, so delicate, the pattern repeats are just lovely and the edge is "Chef's Kiss!" Give it a try! It IS a challenge, but not many other knitters have the balls, or a skein, to knit this!

I'm Fine...

  • Little Secret

    In the same yarn as Blyde and Aith, a bit shorter but with ever so delicate centre patterns. The photo shows how light it is.
    Dreamy...

  • Aith, a peach coloured lace shawl hanging in the garden

    Aith

    This shawl had such a nice pattern, it deserved a soft and gentle colour.
    The border is not so long, but the centre makes up for that.
    A romantic shawl for the summer.

  • Blyde

    Another sweet and gentle coloured shawl, this time a bit more intricate. And a bit wider.
    For a summerbreeze at the beach, feel comforted in this heritage design.

    Equilibrium

    What can I say, I love me a rectangle. The patterns come out so well, delicate, elegant.
    Beware, the very wide edge is worth all the effort.

    Equilibrium 
Delicate is my thing, gimme!

Due to tariffs, I have decided not to sell any physical items for the time being, to the United States.

Pick your shape.

I need a big easy shawl...

  • Singel

    Another wide one! Just shy of 2 and a half meters wide from tip to tip. Here knit in a single ply, very comfy for daily wear.
    Unfortunately this is not adjustable in size, due to the construction and number of repeats that need to match.

    Singel 

  • Brain Waves

    This shawl has SO many possibilities. A sock yarn, a laceweight, even a bulky weight is no problem.
    Excellent for a beginner or using lots of colours too.
    Over 3 meters long from point to point! Very wearable.

    Brain Waves 

  • Pulse

    This is a weird shape and quite large. You can wear the light part on your back, to keep warm and wrap the rest around. In this light weight 2ply wool, it is very easy to wear and stay comfortable. Almost 2 and a half meters long.

    Pulse 

  • Bloesem

    Another shawl with an extreme size!
    The centre point is over 1m deep and point to point is almost 4 meters!
    With the high quality mohair, it is fluffy and light!

    Of course, you can adjust the size! And the colours. Have fun!

Squares

Challenge yourself...

Oooh, are there more?

  • The Second One

    The Ones Collection is a set of shawls that consists of different shapes for each One.

    This One is a square, easy to knit in a single colour or multiple for extra effect.

  • Shetland Stars Square

    A shawl with a big story, you find it in the main menu page. Knit yourself this very special square and imagine being in Scotland, where Jamie found Claire...

    Shetland Stars 

  • Osborne House


    This is a really big project. It needs to be knit in fine gossamer yarn and fine needles. And even then, it's a very large shawl. You can loose yourself in this one...
