Really well-written pattern – you live up to your tagline!
Great pattern … that is fun and easy to make. Have already purchased yarn for 2 more and have inspired others in my knitting group to make it, too.
… the patterns are very clear and spell out specific techniques for things like decreasing etc. when they are important for the appearance of the project. Gotta love that!
I loved knitting this … fantastic pattern so well written … looks great too!
This is a very clearly written pattern and it was a pleasure to knit!

Class

Pattern
Beaconsfield Shawl
Diamonds peppered with lace give the effect of cut crystal. This is the perfect shawl for an elegant evening out, yet will still make you feel glamorous paired with a summery sundress, or a casual pair of jeans and your favorite t-shirt.

Old Norwegian Cast On
Also called German Twisted Cast On, this method is based on the Long Tail Cast On and is a great stretchy cast on to have in your repertoire. This is my favourite cast on for cuff down socks.
