I call this Feathers Shawl because I thought that the lace pattern resembled feathers. There are also directions for a large or small scarf, included.

This shawl uses 2 different yarns, and is knitted 2 rows of one color followed by 2 rows of the other color. You start by making a mitered square for the back. The extensions are knitted with a combination of half-linen stitch and garter stitch.

The Patricia Ruana was named for my mother. As I created this red ruana, I had Mom in mind. For Mother’s Day, I sent some pretty blue yarn and the pattern. As Mom will tell you, her gifts come with “assembly required,” and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

This very femine poncho is only 2 pieces with 2 seams and one row of single-crochet at the neck.

This pattern contains instructions for a shawl and a scarf. Both written and charted instructions are included.

This kimono is made of Prism Tencel Tape, which is a soft, drapy yarn. And I knitted it loose, which adds to the drapiness. The Diagonal Lace Pattern is a 4-row rep.
