Sun Spot

Laura Aylor has a new shawl pattern. You can purchase the pattern for Sun Spot on Ravelry.
This garter stitch shawl with a lace edging is the perfect showcase for a beautiful set of coordinated yarns. You can also knit in a single color or raid your leftover bin. Construction begins at the center back and radiates outward and downward in 5 sections.


I have knit a few of Laura’s patterns and highly recommend her designs. The patterns are well written and easy to follow.

We found many more balls of Classic Elite Silky Alpaca Lace. These will be $5 a ball at the outdoor sale. The money collected from the sale of these balls will be given to Ancaster Community Services.

The balls are individually packaged in plastic bags because they will fall apart when handled too much. We’ve lived that nightmare in previous sales - strands from balls are knotted together and it’s like a Survivor challenge to get everything untangled. 

Lynn counted and we have over 50 balls. What a great add to your stash.

One ball will make Churchmouse Yarn’s Bias Before and After Scarf.



The yarn is lace weight. Did you know that if you double strand lace weight you will have fingering weight? You could use two strands of Silky Alpaca Lace with one strand of fingering for the Stephen West shawl that I showed yesterday. Or you could use four strands of Silky Alpaca Lace. Imagine the marling you could get.
This is Stephen West’s Melting Mark Scarf.
