DIGITAL PATTERNS—designs offered for sale as downloadable PDF patterns. New for summer are two Icelandic influenced triangular lace shawls.
Bertha Lace Shawl—Two traditional Icelandic lace stitch patterns are combined with an interesting edging to create three versions of this shawl.
Deciduous Lace Shawl—On this Icelandic influenced shawl, lacy leaves change shape as they fall to the edging. Knit from the top down, the tiny leaf lace repeats over 4 rows and is easy to memorize.
Baltic Blossoms Lace Shawl—I continue to be inspired by the Estonian lace in Leili Reimann's Pitsilised Koekirjad, and this triangular stockinette stitch shawl has an edging adapted from that book. Following an easy petal lace, nupps give the border an interesting texture.
Forget-Me-Not Lace Shawl—This design was inspired by a trip to Alaska where the forget-me-not is the state flower. The tiny flowers on long stems alternate with leaves above a blossom border and scalloped edging on this triangular stockinette stitch lace shawl.
Heart Ribbon Lace Socks—Beneath a scalloped border of flowers, ribbons of hearts run the length of these lace socks. Purl stitches between the ribbons create a close fit, and the socks were designed in two sizes.
Bleeding Heart Lace Socks—Native to the damp forests of the Pacific Northwest, bleeding heart, or dicentra, disappears completely in the fall and reappears in spring. You can enjoy its beauty year round with these lace socks. The simple lace is fun to knit and alternates with purl stitches for a close fit.
Labyrinth Lace Shawl—Unlike a maze that is designed to confuse, a labyrinth is a symbol for a successful journey. On this diamond-shaped, reversible garter stitch lace shawl, the labyrinth's path can be traced to the center and back out again.
Seafoam Lace Scarf—Rows of eyelet seafoam separate waves of Old Shale lace on this rectangular scarf. Knit on the diagonal, the lace slants like waves breaking on the shore.
Dancing Leaves Lace Shawl—Lacy leaves dance around this shawl. shaped as three quarters of a cirlce, it stays on the shoulders and looks great on a variety of figure types, including the amply endowed.
Happy Trails Lace Scarf—Inside a grass border, heart-shaped prints of the buffalo alternate with small diamonds on this reversible garter sitch lace scarf.
Autumn Lace Scarf—Little leaves surround larger ones inside a narrow garter stitch border on this lace scarf.
Elvera Lace Scarf—Inspired by two small lace mats in the Finland Room at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle, this scarf is named for my Finnish grandmother.
Hyacinth Lace Shawl—Hyacinths are one of my favorite symbols of spring, so I was delighted to discover a lace that reminds me of these colorful flowers.
Wild West Lace Shawl—Wrap up in a bit of the Wild West with this shawl that celebrates the untamed spirit of the bison.
Girlfriend Lace Socks—My favorite small lace and eyelet cables are combined in this feminine design that celebrates friendship.
Twining Leaves Lace Socks—Beneath a narrow border of eyelet seeds, graceful leaves twine along the length of these socks.
Oddball Sock Monkey—This little sock monkey can be knit from odd balls of leftover sock yarn.
