i'm looking for a knitting pattern for a nice shawl or lapghan
to make for my grandma's 101st birthday in May. i'm not a fast knitter so something fast & easy would be best, i think, but something with more pizazz than plain garter stitch. it *has* to be knit, as my crochet talents extend only to cat toys any suggestions? lee -- war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength 1984-George Orwell |

How about something in Feather and Fan? Its garter stitch, mostly,
but certainly not plain. The basic pattern is Multiple of 18 Rows 1, 2, & 4: Knit. Row 3: (knit 2 tog) 3x, (yo, k1) 6x, (knit 2 tog) 3x You can make each pattern repeat on any number evenly divisible by 3 that produces a number divisible by 2, if that makes any sense. The pattern is created in three units: decreases, increases, decreases. You must be able to make AS MANY decreases as you do increases, and the two must be balanced symmetrically. Add a garter stitch upper and lower edge, the sides will take care of themselves.

This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

I find this pattern simply enchanting: http://www.eunnyjang.com/images/knit...o_the_wave.pdf I have no idea of the needed skills for knitting this beauty, but I am sure it would make a special present for a special person. All the best to you and grandma! Anna Maria |

If you knit it in a biggish yarn it would take not so long time to make and you don't need to add any fringe. Hugs, Anna Maria |
