Deep Peace

What a great day today turned out to be. After a week of rainy, yucky weather....the sun finally came out and I was able to not have to wear a coat!


I also taught my very first knitting class today at a local yarn store. It was a beginning lace class for intermediate knitters. I even designed the project! You know you want to see it right?


The name of this scarf/stole is called Deep Peace. I was on a Ravelry Forum and a gal I chat with came up with the name. This will be free pattern available soon. It will all be explained on the pattern. It came out pretty though! I used 2 skeins of Isager Alpaca 2 which is a lovely 50% Alpaca and 50% wool blend.

I am so proud of the 5 ladies in my class. At first I was a little worried that it was too hard, but they all went home confident that they could do it. Which makes me very happy. I should have taken a picture of all of them! We lost track of time, I didn't want it to end!

Here is another shot for you:

Keep bugging me for this pattern. That way I will get it up sooner!

Ciao!

  15. I love the look and name of this! I received some silky merino in grey as a gift and have been looking for just the right pattern for it. It's a slightly heavier weight but I think that will work nicely.

    I just need the pattern ;)
