This is the first of a series inspired by Portland’s parks and dyers within 300 miles of them.

This is the matching hat for Bloomery.

Yarn - A very round lace (like Mithril or prairie) or light fingering (like aquae singles) are best to show off the cables.

This was designed for my aunt Kate and first knit by my mother…hence the name Sister Kate. (Not to mention it is an amazing song first published in 1915 and covered by the Ditty Bops.)

This is second in a series of five crescent shaped shawls. Tiny beads add a little sparkle and weight to this ethereal lace. While the lace looks complex, it is not and follows a logical pattern and it has purl resting rows. (Beads are optional.)
