Summer Swirls Knitalong
This started on July 15 and continues until August 30. It is a 1-skein project using Ensemble Light, that can be enlarged if you use 2 skeins. I used Beaded Silk & Sequins to trim the right sides of the front triangles.
Lots of techniques:
1. center increase triangle with cables, lace, twisted stitches
2. mesh insertion with short rows
3. more cables and lace panels
4. final mesh insertion with short rows
5. steps 1-4 repeated on other side for mirror image
6. special grafting of both pieces with short rows instead of kitchener or seaming
7. optional edging with Beaded Silk & Sequins Light
I’m always checking the knitalong group here, so I can give help and encouragement as needed 
Now I want to try one in a variegated yarn, because this multidirectional pattern is perfect for this. Here’s what I have so far. What do you think of Ensemble Light color 1026?
As always, this is a very fun knit! Cant wait to get to the short rows… lots of different, interesting stitches and techniques in this one!
I have already purchased the kit to make the Nicky Epstein, Sunflower Shawl, but decided against making it. I would really like to use some of the yarn to make your Summer Swirls Shawl. Is there any way I can get ahold of the pattern. I am willing to pay for it.
Thanks.
PS I took a wonderful class from you at the Vogue Knitting Show in Los Angeles two years ago. My sister and I took you “Ruana” Class, and loved it. You are a very good teacher.
