Lace Shawl Repair

Finding my place

The first step was to find my place in the pattern. I determined that most of the stitches I had "captured" were on row 49. So I charted that row and a few preceding it. I checked for lost stitches in rows below and latched them up, then completed row 49 by knitting with another needle. Here is where I am.

Shepherd Lace Shawl repair - finding my place

I continued to chart each row, then knit it. I changed from wooden needles to aluminum to move the stitches more easily. I also knit continental style in order to not stretch the ladder thread more than necessary (my preference is to knit English). You don't see my right hand on the needle, because it is holding the camera!

HeartStrings FiberArts is a wholesale pattern company. I encourage individuals to visit your local yarn store or check the Store Locator to purchase patterns. If you don't already have a favorite retailer from whom to buy, you can use the HeartStrings online catalog at Shopatron. This service will find a retailer who has the patterns you want in stock and will ship to you quickly.

Questions? Comments? - I love to hear from you, whether it be to get advice about your HeartStrings knitting projects, to make suggestions, or to share news of your accomplishments. Kind regards, Jackie E-S
