This fabulous variegated grey (which isn't as dark as this pic, but does have that fabulous shine thanks to being 20% bamboo) is my test-knit of a knotty problem: Design a pretty little shawlette pattern that's simple enough for my Mum to have a go at. She really loved the Ishbel and I think she'd really like another 7 or 8 in lots of different colours. Since I'd like to knit other things as well, I'm having a go at a simple pattern. I'm talking really simple - I want it to be elegant, but I'm trying for one pattern row with only 4 stitches: knit, purl, YO and SK2P. That way, she may get through it. Possibly. There's still her first and only sock sitting without a toe in her knitting basket...Watch this space!
