I know Haiti is still on everyone's mind, and I am no exception. Although I contributed to Stephanie's impressive MSF total, I am really feeling the need to do more. So I've been working on a pattern to sell for Haiti relief. I know: me and everyone else, right? But they need so much help. And hopefully, at least a few people will think it's worthwhile and I'll be able to send some more dollars where they are needed!
The pattern is a simple shawlette, knit from the tip to the top with a self edging.
The prototype is knit in some gorgeous sock yarn from Tactile Fiber Arts.
Isn't the color amazing?
After sort of a slow start last weekend (I had a cold), it's coming along pretty well now!
Which brings me to a request.
I need some test knitters! Is anyone up for it? I could really use a few super fast knitters about now! I'm writing the pattern up, but since I haven't finished knitting it myself, the bind-off is a little hazy at the moment. Anyone? (ETA: I've got test knitters now. Thank you everyone!)
The edging is garter stitch, the lace panel is stockinette, and the middle is garter stitch. It's a fun knit!

Hi Romi:
I'd be up to give it a go. TheWoolverine on Ravelry if you want to see my stuff. I love knitting lace shawls and have a stash of sock yarn....

Hi, Romi,
I'd be happy to give it a whirl, also. I'm tmkr on Ravelry.
Thanks!

How lovely! I'm going to have to break my no new patterns rule. I mean, it's charity, so that doesn't count. Right?
I wish I were super fast. I'll just have to wait for the test knitters to finish.
Just when you find yourself asking "Where are all of the good people?" Something like this happens and all the beautiful people emerge. :-) Your photos are stunning! I was just reading an article on aperture, depth of field, ect... You've got it down!
let me know when its for sale and I will buy a copy.
Romi, I'd be happy to help too, Susan's Aunt Katie
I would be happy to test-knit your shawl. I have done some test knitting for knitspot (socks), but I also knit shawls.
You're a generous person, Romi. I'll buy your pattern when it's ready. Since you already have your test knitters, I'll have to wait until then.
Let us know when we can buy it! Going to a fundraiser for Haiti tomorrow, but they will need ongoing help for many years to come. I even have the wool in my stash that would be perfect....
It looks gorgeous!An the pictures too! I look forward to knitting the shawlette when the pattern is ready.
Got the pattern today, will cast on tonight and post blog photos this week. Thanks again, Romi!
Romi that is looking gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the pattern.
