I made another square shawl for a niece. Although I have made lots of these, I find them interesting and relaxing. This one is made with Jamieson and Smith Shetland wool (colourway - Periwinkle) on 4.5mm needles. It measures 68 inches x 68 inches. I finished it with a sideways garter stitch border that I found in my "knitting book" and have no idea where I found it. It is pretty and only an 8 row repeat. I would use it again.

It is just started at the centre with 8 stitches and you increase every other round at four points. I throw in some YOk2tog every so often to prevent me from falling asleep. They are easy to do.

So laid out flat it would show concentric squares?

Can squares be concentric? Usually the term is used with circles - but since it means "common center" I guess it works with squares.

Like the results....

What beautiful lace work! I've never tried it, but think that it must soon become a project.
