Old Shale or Feather and Fan Lace Pattern
This is a very old pattern which I am sure many people will recognize and it is most handy to have in your pattern library. It works very well in a scarf, a throw or a sweater. Recently, I saw it in Interweave Knits magazine incorporated into a skirt and it was very effective. For this sample, I used 2ply kid silk (Fleece Artist) and the pattern is below. -Heather Tunnah
