Hi fellow knitter, I have not just the two new patterns I originally planned for March release, but THREE lovely lace shawl/stole/wrap patterns to announce! HeartStrings retailers are already enthusiasticly stocking up on these patterns (shipments have been going out this week). I hope you will find one, or two, or even all three of these to be on your got-to-have list. Be sure to get in touch with your favorite yarn shop or online dealer to be first to grab up patterns in the first shipment. Meantime, I hadn't even started my taxes because I was so busy designing. Thus this newsletter will be short. I promise that next time I'll catch up on more of the news. #H42 FACETED GEMS LACE WRAP The stunning sculpted lace of this rectangular wrap will take your breath away. The knitting of this wrap is done lengthwise from one long edge to the other. The shimmering colors of softly variegated yarn arrange themselves in strokes, playing off the open and solid areas of this lace pattern like beautifully cut sparkling gems. Lace weight yarn. Charted and written instructions. http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/h42.shtm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #H43 PEGGY'S SHAWL An easier-than-it-looks triangle shawl featuring feathered radiating columns of subtly textured lace. You'll start with just a few stitches at the center neckline and increase in pattern to create the triangle shape. The lacy lines of this shawl create a slimming silhouette when worn. Fingering weight yarn. Charted and written instructions. http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/h43.shtm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #H36 IVY TRELLIS LACE STOLE A magnificent lace stole featuring ivy motifs trailing along a trellis background. The stole is generously sized to wrap up in for a cuddly warm hug. Fingering weight yarn. Charted instructions. http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/h36.shtm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For a store locator of retailers selling these and other HeartStrings knitting patterns, check http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/store-locator.shtm OR if you don't have a favorite retail shop from which to buy, you can use the 'Shop Now' links at my website to purchase.
