Beginner
Often people ask designers what inspired them to create a piece. In this case, what inspired me was finding 3 skeins of SWTC's gorgeous Yang metallic sequin yarn for sale at my local yarn store! Since they only had 3 skeins left, I was inspired to make those skeins go a long way. Hence, my Saucy Spanish Lace Shawlette.
This is an EASY knit. Really! The lace pattern involves NO PURL STITCHES at all and yes yes, you may have noticed there are short rows, BUT you don't have to bother wrapping the stitches every time you turn the row!
So with purl stitches on the stockinette stitch section only and no stitch wrapping (which let's be honest, confuses many new knitters), I think I came up with a fun, fabulous and easy knit for my beginner knitters and the rest of you too.
As with all my designs, I'm always available to help you as you work up the project. I want you have fun and end up with a shawlette that's the envy of everybody in your world.
NOTE: Thank you Susan, for always being willing to be my lovely, cheerful and enthusiastic model ... and terrific friend.

I am certified as a Level 1 Master Hand Knitter by The Knitting Guild Association. My grandmother Lena taught me to knit when I was 4 years old and told me that a lifetime of knitting pleasure was her legacy to me. I love to design and knit and enter my work in competitions. I've won numerous awards and ribbons over the years and that's a lot of fun, but the greatest pleasure is the actual creative process. I specialize in Beginner and Intermediate level designs that teach new skills and promote excitement for the art that is Knitting. I think new knitters should have the opportunity to work with a well-written design that reinforces their current skills, teaches them new skills and gets a "WOW, you made that?!!?" response when showing off their completed project.
