A couple of months ago, I designed this shawl for a friend & then some knitters requested that I write the pattern. I have never written a shawl pattern before although I did wrote a pattern for my Berry Triangle but there were no charts involved.
So I tried & it took me a while to get things right but I managed to write up the pattern & it's now for sale in ravelry. It's a good triangle shawl for a beginner and the pattern allows the flexiblity of increasing or decreasing the size of the shawl.
This is my 2nd test knit from the original & I have made it smaller & eliminated the leaves portion of the lace. To break the monotony of knitting stocking stitch, I did a k2tog, yo every few rows.
There are also a few more versions from my test knitters & they are all gorgeous. Thank you Gosia & Lisa for your efforts.
I also did a 2nd test knit for my Berry Triangle with a different yarn & it looks just as good.....
I am currently working on another shawl design & here's a peek at it.....
I am now working out the details with the 2nd shawl, then write out the pattern & have it test knitted, so this will take a while .....

The shawls are all beautiful.
I saw your Berry Triangles on The Ravelry: lovely, and your newest shawls look gorgeous. I love the lacy border on the last one!! Very clever!!
Congratulations on another lovely pattern!
Fabulous designing Ann!
Your shawls are stunning. May there be many more in the future.
They are both gorgeous shawls! I could see myself knitting up the second one, very nice.
