A mere eight days after our wonderful weekend workshop with Sivia Harding, Catherine A. completed her first lace design. Fill a Triangle with Lace was a two-day workshop where we learned the intricacies of knitting and designing a triangular-shaped shawl. We also learned ways of manipulating a lace stitch pattern to fit the triangular shape.

Catherine was so inspired and empowered by the workshop than on Sunday night after she went home she started pouring over her stitch dictionaries to begin a new design for yet another triangular lace shawl. Bear in mind that Catherine had just spent two days charting a completely different shawl. She was so energized by the process that she wanted to do it all over again with another stitch pattern.

She extended her dining room table to its full size, much to her family’s chagrin and started the charting process. Then the knitting began.

By Monday, just over a week later, Catherine was ready to block her new lace scarf.

On Tuesday night she brought her new creation to the Guild meeting and eagerly shared it with her workshop classmates. We had a show and tell session that evening and everyone at the meeting was able to see the very successful results of the Sivia Harding workshop.

Catherine has not ditched her original design that she worked on at the workshop. It will become a knitted scarf as well. We can’t wait to see it, Catherine!
