For those interested in joining, there’s a Ruffle My Feathers KAL going in the String Theory Yarn Lovers group. Feel free to join us, I will be on hand to answer any questions. You can use any yarn you choose, you don’t have to use String Theory to participate.

I saw this yarn at my LYS and thought that I had to make a shawl using garter stitch. The rest flowed from there. This is a top down shawl with two cast on options: either a garter tab cast on for more advanced knitters or an ordinary cast on for beginners to lace.

The pattern is both written and charted and it provides a stitch count chart at the end to keep track of rows; the stitch count chart provides the number of stitches between each stitch marker as well. Additionally a number of points are noted where the knitter can start the edging so that yarn usage can be maximized. Approximately 65% of yarn is needed for edging.

Thank you to all my test knitters for your invaluable information.
