I am also a knitter, but I must admit to being a bit skeptical that a shawl that size could possibly fall into the category of "a quick knit!". I think of a hat as a quick knit... But then I consider you a most prodigious Quilter/knitter! Thanks for sharing the great project.

If I may ask a question or two, how did you learn to knit and what would you recommend to someone who wants to get started but only knows a basic crochet stitch (and can't even remember that from high school)? I've been so inspired by the beautiful projects I've seen lately that I really would like to learn but have no idea where to really start. It seems a bit overwhelming!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326923919315870639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-88630079304166170402011-09-15T21:56:46.191+10:002011-09-15T21:56:46.191+10:00Rita - this is beautiful!

I ordered the Nefertem after seeing it on your blog and loved the colors and pattern but was very disappointed with how small it was .. surely they should have called it a scarf instead of a shawl. This orange is gorgeous and I'm definitely loving the simple knit with the lace border .. thinking about Cladonia soon.peawinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775307842178822859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-78789169450905840002011-09-15T19:19:52.332+10:002011-09-15T19:19:52.332+10:00Yes I am a Knitter/Quilter!
