3 New Lace Projects from Fiber Dreams
Calling all Lace Knitters
Inspired by nature, travel & literature Laura Patterson offers you lace projects that are as beautiful as they are intriguing to knit. Knit in either a lace or fingering weight yarn create one of her latest designs for yourself, or for that special someone.
This crescent shaped shawl is worked from a long cast on, through the lace
and garter stitch short rows for shaping, to the bind off edge.

| Moonvine |
Matching Moonvine cowl
and Sunspots fingerless mitts make a very thoughtful
gift. A night-blooming morning glory? A bit of a contradiction,
but there you go. But oh! can’t you just imagine the pure white blooms
reflecting the light of a full moon? When planted on a trellis with any
day-blooming variety, you’ll have showy blossoms from night through
morning’s light. Lovely. Moonvine is knit in the round, starting
and ending with just a touch of garter stitch to help prevent curling.
Once past the edging, every row is a pattern row—if you want to rest,
you’ll need to take this into the garden when the morning light is full
on your blossoming vines.
Sunspots are a bright orange variety
of morning glory, another of my favorite flowers. Their small, brilliant
blooms greet the sun each morning with a dazzling display. Mitts are worked in the round in an all-over pattern, resulting in mitts
that work equally well on either hand. Thumb gusset is worked in
stockinette stitch.
Cecily is worked in two pieces, each worked from the outer
edge to the center. The two pieces are grafted together to form the finished
shawl. The nupps are only on the outer edges. As each side the shawl
progresses, the stitches become simpler.
