New Design - Nimrodel





“Beside the falls of Nimrodel, 
by water clear and cool, 
her voice, like silver falling fell 
into the shining pool”

Nimrodel is a cable and lace triangular shawl worked from the top down. The pattern can be easily customized by changing the number of repeats of Chart A. The pictured shawl uses approximately 700 yards of fingering weight yarn. 400 yards would make a shawlette size.

I knit to audio books a lot and was listening to Lord of the Rings, and trying to come up with something for my shawl exchange partner. She said her favorite colors were water tones, and the beautiful yarn from the yarn yard reminded me of cool water. So I tried to come up with a pattern that reminded me of water flowing over stones and this is what I came up with.

Beads vs Nupps

A Nupp is a bobble like stitch found in Estonia lace patterns. It is found in many lace patterns, but is also often replaced by beads. I did just that in this Swallowtail shawl, knitted using Knit Picks Gloss lace yarn in Ultramarine.

Crochet Cast Off

Here are 2 shawls that both have a crochet cast off. It is a very quick cast off that gives a shawl a nice stretchy edge.

Here is Luiza, knitting using 633.6 yards of Knit Picks Gloss lace yarn.

Haruni knit using 637.6 yards of Knit Picks Stroll Tonal fingering yarn.
