A New Beaded Shawl

Janie's Quick Hello!
​

I hope that this email finds you all well and that you are looking forward to the weekend!

We are in sunny Bournemouth today catching a bit of sunshine and sea air and getting ready for our Inspired Minds Crochet weekend, which kicks off later on this evening, but I am just dropping into your inbox to let you know that my 'Hollicarrs' scarf/wrap pattern is now live on my web site.

The pattern originally featured in Rachel Atkinson's book 'Daughter of a Shepherd Volume One' and was designed using Rachel's fabulous British DK wool 'Hebridean Zwartbles'. I have updated the pattern using Fyberspates Vivacious 4 ply. The design uses 2 skeins of yarn and 4 packs of beads.

The new version of the pattern can be purchased from my web site either as a 4 page paper pattern or as a download option. The pattern includes written and charted instructions and is available in UK and US terminology. Both versions of the pattern are £3.95.

The repeated beaded lace pattern of this scarf/shawl lends itself beautifully to any choice of yarn, be it 4ply or DK, but if you like the idea of using the lovely Vivacious 4 ply yarn and the Debbie Abrahams beads then Andy will be putting some kits onto the Just Knots web site next week and hopefully other stockists will start to stock the pattern too.

Thank you for all the feedback from last week's newsletter. I realised as soon as I had pressed send that I had forgotten to add in my Instagram of the Month recommendation, so will include this in next week's update.

As always, if you want to get in touch please hit reply and tell me what is on your mind. I hope you have a lovely weekend wherever you are....
