DIANA SHAWL to KNIT in FINGERING WEIGHT YARN by ROMI HILL

THIS IS A BRAND NEW PATTERN  LEAFLET FROM DESIGNS BY ROMI, FRIENDS SERIES, CALLED DIANE, DESIGNED BY ROSEMARY (ROMI) HILL.

THIS PATTERN IS PART OF A COLLECTION CELEBRATING ROMI’S ONLINE KNITTING FRIENDS.

IN HER RAVATAR, DIANE SITS BESIDE A GORGEOUS EXPANSE OF RIPPLING BLUE WATER.  I CAN ALMOST FEEL THE FRESH AIR BLOWING ON SHORE.  I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HER, BUT I DO KNOW SHE LOVES LACE.  LACE AND WATER:  A PERFECT JUMPING OFF POINT!

WHEN ROMI DESIGNED DIANE, THE SHAWL, SHE USED THE TRADITIONAL FEATHER AND FAN PATTERN IN A SLIGHTLY QUIRKY WAY.  DESIGNED IN A SERIES OF WEDGES, THE SHAPING OF THIS SHAWL FITS PERFECTLY INTO THE STITCH PATTERN SO THAT THE WEDGES UNDULATE BEAUTIFULLY LIKE WAVES ALONG THE SEA STRAND.  KNIT UP IN BLUE, IT IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE WATER SHE SITS BY.  KNIT UP IN MOTTLED WHITES AND BROWNS, IT REMINDS ME OF SEASHELLS.
