This Aran is knit in a 2ply giving a finer pattern definition. It has all the classic Aran elements without the fussiness and the bulk. The pattern is kept to central panels in the front and back and sleeve. While this pattern has not been graded for sizes, adjustments for width and length are not going to change the placement of the texture stitches. It is a good way to handle all the traditional methods of steeking, picking up stitches and knitting in the round. The jersey looks best in natural wool. I used 160gm of 2ply handspun.

This shawl is a design response to the Kaipara Valley. Gauge is not crucial. The notes here are not intended as a step by step manual, rather a guide to putting together a traditional Shetland shawl. It is worked from the centre out and in-the-round.

An up-side down candle-light pattern represents pine tree plantations and our Kaipara River is detailed by a serpentine Yarnover repeat.

The shawl measures 1.1m square after blocking. I used an adjustable wooden frame with stainless steel nails rather than pins.

This project is perfect for that 125gm of hand-spun exotic fibre. Gauge is not crucial and the stole is reversible.

Finished garment is 34cm wide and 1.6m long. The variegated greys of the hand-spun Gotland are shown to great advantage.

The stacked fish-scale lace pattern between the vertical columns of garter stitch makes for a balanced fabric. You may wish to add a fourth repeat of lace to make the stole wider -you WILL need more yarn for that.

Kilsalagh, Westport, in Ireland is a big part of my heritage.

Originally this pattern was included in a kit. Three colours of hand-spun wool came with instructions and the equipment. The pattern is a lovely way to show-case natural hand-spun wool.

It is worked top-down as a flat project and then sewn up. 100gm is plenty for this beanie.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
