This lace knit scarf is the perfect choice for fall/autumn days and a perfect color for the season.

I chose a Fyberspates Scrumptious Lace in color 502 (gold) for my Garden at Nighttime Lace Knit Scarf Pattern. The yarn is a blend of silk and fine merino.

This is an extended length version of the scarf (78 inches/198 cm) that’s easily accomplished by continuing the stitch pattern repeats until it’s as long as you like.

Pattern available on Ravelry, LoveKnitting and Craftsy.

Happy September!

Just a quick update on what I’ve been up to – and a link to a special pattern offer for Christmas.

You may have noticed that I haven’t released any shawl or wrap patterns recently, and there’s a reason for that! I’ve been designing a series of lace knit wraps and shawls for a major U.S. yarn company, and they will appear on their website in the near future. As soon as that happens, I’ll post a link on the blog.

The good news is that they will be free! There will be a variety of shapes and yarn weights, and all patterns will have both written and charted directions.

Early in the spring I will have a wrap pattern featured in an online Irish magazine. That will also be free and I’ll post a link to that when it’s been published.

So, I’ve been staying busy – I’m also working through the Master Hand Knitter program of The Knitting Guild Association. It’s quite a challenge, with work product at three different levels. I’m about half way there, and am learning lots of new techniques.

As I progress through the program, I’ll share some of what I learn on the blog here.

 A very early Merry Christmas to you! Get a head start on your Christmas knitting with this special package that includes an adult scarf pattern plus two additional smaller scarf patterns – suitable for toddlers, tots, or pets.
