A recently released design!
One of my knitted stole/shawl designs has been released by the yarn company that commissioned me to make it. http://www.elann.com/commerce.web/im...nces_stole.jpg
This stole is made with two large needles although of different sizes, and is a pretty quick knit. It would make a lovely prayer shawl. The pattern is available at the link below for less than $6 and the pattern and yarn together as a kit are less than $30.
The yarn is a worsted weight yarn that is lightly twisted and has gradual colour changes throughout. I designed this for the beginner knitter who would like to make a lace shawl, but hasn't tackled lace knitting yet...because there is no challenging lace knitting involved. The knitting skills you need are:
the knit stitch
the purl stitch
casting on
binding off
making a yarn over
inserting a needle into a group of stitches together as if they were one stitch and knitting it

P.S. I'm working on a crocheted version!
