For Lucia

Lucia has been looking for pictures of what she (or people she knows) has been calling garterlac.

This seems to be more or less what she calls “Garterlac II” – with the extra addition of moss (seed – tomato, tomahto) stitch blocks.

It is a shawl knitted when Adam was born by a very old family friend (also called Anne – not entirely coincidentally) – in fact she is the intended recipient of the Shetland Garden shawl. (Which I MUST get on with – I’ve been rather distracted by pink sparkle… ).

There’s something strange and scarily co-ordinated going on. At the very moment you were posting this, I was casting on my first garterlac dishcloth…

Oh, so pretty! I love the alternating seed stitch.

So, when do we get to see the pink sparkle then? Has Ruth been bullying you all week?!

What a great stitch pattern, think I will have to have a play.
