Summer Flies

No, this doesn't have anything to do with those pesky flies that I gave a hint about.  And it doesn't have anything to do with how fast the summer seemed to fly by.


Summer flies is a lovely shoulder shawl that I recently completed.

This is a lovely shawl designed by Holly and Ella Knits and you can get a free download of the pattern at Ravelry.
I used a 5 mm circular bamboo needle and Bernat Satin yarn.  The pattern has 7 different sections to it, each with a differnt stitch.  It is an easy to follow pattern which knit up quite quickly.
There is a new pattern coming out soon called Autumn Flutters and I can't wait for it to be released.
PS.  I messed up on one row in this pattern and it did affect a bit of the pattern.  But unless you have knitted the pattern or you are the designer you probably won't notice what I did wrong.  I didn't really notice the error till I was almost done and I didn't have the heart to do the froggy stitch.  But when I knit the next one, I'll know where I went wrong.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can take a moment to leave a comment and say hi.

  1. It's gorgeous! I love, love, love that shawl! I sure wish I knew how to knit. I can crochet like crazy, but knitting just won't come easy. My tension is always too tight. Beautiful shawl!

  2. Beautiful. Until I learned to knit a year ago I would have thought this shawl would be SO DIFFICULT...it is amazing how some intricate patterns can really be easy...which is VERY nice for some us. Well done!

  4. Lovely work Linda, puts my basic knits in the shade. It really is a nice shawl.
    Nice of you to use my Neck Warmer pattern glad you like it, I wanted to let you know I missed the tension details, it worked out as 15sts-10cm on 6.5mm needles working on the pattern when I knitted it. Take care. Julie.C
