Five-Eighth Shawl
Designed to be knit in ‘rustic’ wool, worsted weight, can be knit all one color solid, or in your own choice of colors; once the very simply increasing technique is learned, you can fly right along with it. A full and warm shoulder wrap with built-in shawl-collar styling to avoid that “bunching-up” that happens with some shawl designs.

AJ Baby Blanket
Designed for a new niece in the family, the AJ Baby Blanket was knit with a sport weight cotton yarn (about 850 yards), and measures about 40 inches across when blocked. You might like using a washable wool in sport or worsted weight for a larger afghan, or even a laceweight yarn on larger needles to create a shawl.

Broadborder Shawl / BDS Pattern combo pack
Several possibilities, you decide how to make each section. Pattern includes full instructions how to construct each portion. No Sewing, all pick-ups for each new section.
The beauty of these shawls is that there is NO SEWING/NO SEAMING. You just pick-up stitches to begin working the next section. Even on the corner tips, where you start a new piece, once the corner is the size you want, you then simply pick up live stitches along the edge of what is already done!
The instruction pack includes plenty of pictures and schematic diagrams to guide you through the process. And because it is all garter stitch there is no purling required!
The Broadborder shawl was started with 10 balls of Noro Silk Garden — adjusting colors to come close to a mirror image, I had about 4 partial balls remaining. The Best Damn Shawl in the World was knit from hand-dyed worsted weight wool. Both can be made as large or small as you wish, with each section made to your own choices for stitch count. The pattern package includes instrucions and schematics for designing your own version.

About the designer, Ruth Park
Ruth Park has been knitting for 4 years and designing for 1 1/2 years. She took up the needles after years of resisting her mom’s attempt to get her into knitting and started designing when she found herself overflowing with ideas for knitted items and no already written patterns that looked like what she imagined. The Butterfly Wings Shawl was inspired by the yarn itself which spoke to her about delicate, colorful wings. Her currently available patterns and information about upcoming patterns is available on her blog, or you can find more frequent updates on her tumblr.

Shorty McRippleton Scarf
(click for larger view)
Here’s a way to use variegated yarns in something besides horizontal stripes! Using a very simple shortrow technique (no wrap-and-turn required) the color changes are arranged into neat bias striping to form an amazing fabric! Instuctions include line-by-line text plus an easy-to-follow chart.
Also included are ideas for other ways to use the technique in other projects. Please note the sample was made with several variegated colorways to show that this technique will work. It takes less than 8 ounces of sport weight, but you can use any collection of variegated yarns to make a truly unique scarf.
It’s also a great way to use up all those bits of sock yarn!

Lovely lace shawl pattern, with plenty of charts for easy knitting. Designed as a bottom-up shawl, it can be readily converted to a top-down double triangle, or even a center-out square.
