Nefertem
Pattern by Kristen Kapur
This shawl/scarf is Nefertem by Kristen Kapur from Through the Loops Designs. Nefertem is a quick knit, suitable for a beginner to intermediate lace knitter. The pattern is currently only available as a pattern/yarn kit combination from The Loopy Ewe, but is scheduled for release as a pattern only purchase in October 2011.
The yarn (as part of the kit) is Madelinetosh Sock in the colorway Midnight Rendevous (a little more purple in color than I would normally choose).
The pattern is well written and I encountered little difficulty until the crochet bind-off. I am a standard right-handed knitter but very much a left-handed crocheter and it required a little juggling of the knitting needles and the crochet hook to combine the two.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
Beautiful job Rit, just lovely x

ReplyDeleteI've been a knitting fiend lately, socks for everyone I know!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty; I love the design and the color of the yarn. I don't knit but really appreciate the work in that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Shawl, I always love Kirsten's patterns! I'm a knitter, and though I love seeing your beautiful quilts, having a gorgeous knit like this pop up once in a while is always a thrill!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one who knitted right and crocheted left! Also golf right, curl (that wierd game on ice that Canadians play) left, right-handed scissors but in my left hand. I write with my left hand - I guess that makes me left-handed to most people :). Beautiful shawl - will watch for the pattern - already have something in my stash I think will be suitable.
ReplyDeleteHaven't knitted in eons, but just pulled something out yesterday - must be something in the air.

Gorgeous, well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a super great knitting, sewing, and stitching day.
Lovely! I actually really like the color too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSoo pretty! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shawl. I have one in my mind - using my own hand dyed cotton thread and forming a triangle shawl using a pattern from my 'encyclopedia' of knitted patterns. I just need to figure out which colorway to use for the shawl. It has to be extra special, right?
ReplyDeleteRita.....it's simply gorgeous! Wow!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!! I have this kit but haven't even started it yet.

ReplyDeleteYou're so talented!
ReplyDeleteWow that's beautiful! I wish I could knit, but sadly, I only crochet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love to see the knitting as well as the quilting - but, I don't see how you can possibly accomplish as much as you do. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is beautiful. I hope you did it as part of Kirsten's KAL.
