March is the month to start an exciting new shawl club at Get Stitchin’. Terry Brezinsky will introduce knit and crochet patterns to the club every other month. Makers can choose one craft or both. Patterns will be sourced from indie designers, yarn companies, and wherever patterns are found. Shawl basics will be covered, and any unique parts of a pattern will be explained. Yarn suggestions include the beautiful collections of locally dyed yarns at Get Stitchin’ and some well-known companies. We will meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 1 pm to 2:30 pm.
This is a social event, so there is no charge to attend. However, we encourage you to purchase your supplies from Get Stitchin’. Jump in at any time. Work at your own pace. Ask for help if you need it. Most of all – HAVE FUN!

Aimee’s Simple Shawl by Aimee Pelletier.
Something simple was the direction. Something that could be mindlessly knit, while enjoying the feel of these yarns…and a cocktail on the patio maybe?
Any DK weight yarn (about 600 yards) will be perfect for this shawl, and we have some wonderful choices here at Get Stitchin’.

Ashlyn Shawl By Rachel Wolfe
Ashlyn Shawl is a large, top-down crescent-shaped shawl featuring two complementary colors in striped sections, and a contrasting color for the lace sections. Both the stripes and the lace increase in width as the shawl grows.
It has been worked here in a sock yarn, but would be equally beautiful in a singles yarn.
Wingspan is approximately 72 inches, and depth is approximately 24 inches. Gauge is not absolutely essential for this pattern, but you should obtain a light fabric with good drape. Different gauge will affect the yardage requirements.
The lace pattern is both written and charted.
Pattern is free with purchase of her yarns; you can get the pattern at the time of purchase.
