Image 2 (Beaded scarf) I really enjoy knitting with beads and love the way they give<br />
a beautiful weight and drape to this scarf in Wool Cotton.<br />
Image 3 (Lace block shawl) This is one of my favourite designs in the book, and I<br />
could probably have done the whole book using Kidsilk Haze in Trance! The shawl is<br />
triangular but not created in the normal way. A strip is knitted to form one side of the<br />
shawl, stitches are then picked up along one side and another strip knitted before<br />
the centre section is worked using short row shaping. The design was also pretty<br />
challenging which at first terrified me but then was hugely interesting and a little<br />
addictive to knit.<br />
Image 4 (Indulgent wrap) This stole in Wool Cotton 4 ply also has another unusual<br />
construction. It starts in the centre with increases to form a square from which two<br />
ends are carried on in bands of lace stitches to make the full length of the scarf, a<br />
lace edge was then knitted up each side.<br />
Image 5 (Chevron scarf) This is the scarf that if I could put back Christmas a few<br />
weeks I would love to make for my sister. The rippling stripes of colour would also be<br />
a great way to use up scraps of yarn.<br />
I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. Now I had better get casting on if I am<br />
going to be anyw<strong>here</strong> near ready for Christmas!<br />
Wishing you all a wonderful festive season.<br />
