Shawl Collection
Book and 2DVDs by Diana Sullivan
Diana's Shawl Collection for Machine Knitters has nine shawl patterns for all flatbed knitting machines. Directions are given in a full-color book with detailed explanations and no abbreviations, and there are two DVDs with meticulous, high-definition detail showing how to do each technique.
Shawls are great to dress an outfit up or down, to deal with transitional weather and air-conditioned rooms. They make wonderful gifts for loved ones and charities alike.
Shawls in the book include:
Self-Fringing Shawl is great for beginners and has fringe that is made as you go but "locked in" to keep the adjacent stitches tidy. For mid-gauge and bulky machines.
The Miters and Lace shawl is intended for your bulky with a ribber. This is a fantasic shawl to make with "cake" color-changing yarn, because all your stripes will match! It has a terrific hand-tooled lace edge with a great mitered point.
The Peacock Shawl is a semi-circular shawl that gives a starburst pattern in self-striping yarns. It has a dramatic hand-tooled edging for lacy points. This is an intermediate pattern for your bulky or mid-gauge machine.
The Half Circle Shawl with Lace Leaf Edging is a standard gauge shawl for lace lovers. It uses the "Stitch World" method of making scalloped lace edges. It also has a starburst pattern, but this time, made with lace. The edging is attached with a sew-as-you-go technique and the seams just - vanish!
The Mirror Image Lace Triangle Shawl is another standard gauge shawl for Brother lace. It uses an unusual technique to reverse the lace and give a matched center to the triangle as well as a beautiful scalloped edge.
The bias lace triangle shawlette is also for standard gauge machines with a lace carriage. This one is a snap and fun to make with self-striping sock yarns.
The Chevron Bias Lace Shawl is also super easy bias lace, and it's a big lace shawl with an unusual shape.
The Drop Lace Stole, for a bulky machine with ribber, has a very interesting drop lace effect, and is a luxurious, generous-sized wrap.
The Slider Lace Poncho has adult and child sizes. This is a very unusual lace to make on a mid-gauge machine - no patterning required! The pretty stitch design is simply made with a single transfer tool. This is a very easy project with some terrific but simplefinishing techniques shown in detail.
