Named for one of my favourite Australian birds, the spotted Pardalote; a small brightly coloured, short-billed Australian songbird related to the flowerpeckers, typically having white spots or streaks on the dark wings and crown. The name derives from a Greek word meaning “spotted”. Requiring only 2 skeins, the Pardalote shawl is a smaller project that has a big impact. Its combination of slip stitches and eyelets allow for play between the two colours, a reference to the spots on its namesake. Pardalote is a relaxing knit that will keep you engaged and results in a wearable asymmetrical triangle shape.
You need two skeins of fingering weight yarn.
Wannietta test knit the shawl for Ambah. She brought a skein of fingering weight from her stash to the store and we added a skein of Hedgehog Kidsilk Lace.
And there are three brand new colours of Rios.
The Rios colours look gorgeous. I think that any of them would be a great choice for Andrea’s new shawl Honey Moss that I showed yesterday.

The new Della Q bags are selling well for us and for Della Q. They are sold out of a few colours. If you are thinking about a bag, don’t be disappointed. Get your order in soon. We have a limited number of Maker’s Roll Top bags in red and olive.
We did add another colour in the Maker’s Mini Messenger - Salmon.
Now a bit of knitting. I hope to have Skylights finished this weekend.
