Introducing the They Don’t Love You Like I Love You Shawlette pattern, fresh off the presses and live on Ravelry if you follow the link. It’s coming soon to my Etsy shop as well.  This is a cheerful shawlette also known as the Love Shawlette. Perfect for brightening up urban landscapes with its bright stripes. I used Rain City Knits Superwash Sock yarn for this project in Natural and Lemon Yellow, and I love the result. Depending on how you block your shawlette, you can have either a triangle or semi-circular shape. Tricky, I know! The pattern is live on Ravelry and will be 20% off through May 1st. Thanks again to everyone who test knit for me, and thanks again to my technical editor.

At last I can reveal a secret project that has been under wraps. I have a new shawlette design moving from the secretive design phase to the tech editing and testing phase, hooray! Here she is: Though She Be But Little, She Is Fierce Shawlette.

I love simple shawls, and the design of Though She Be But Little, She Is Fierce is perfect for vareigated, showboat sort of yarns like the Handmaiden I used in the sample.

If you’re curious about the name, it’s from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare. I thought the name perfect for this feisty little triangular shawlette.

The pattern should go live in mid-July 2013. What do you think?
