This square shawl is the fourth shawl in the Mystic Elements series (following Mystic Waters, Mystic Light and Mystic Earth). Mystic Air draws its inspiration from the heavens above and the air that we breathe.
My shawl is knit on 3.5 mm needles, using two skeins (200 g) of Alpaca Cashsilk yarn from Tri’Coterie (1,200 m per 100 g skein) in the Bella Swan colourway. The shawl uses approx. 1,800 m of laceweight yarn. As always, yarn substitutions are encouraged.
The shawl comes in three different sizes. The blocked dimensions of the various sizes are:
Large version (shown) 160 cm x 160 cm (63” x 63”)
Medium version 140 cm x 140 cm (55” x 55”)
Small version 124 cm x 124 cm (49” x 49”)
The pattern is available in downloadable .pdf format for $8.00 CDN.
The Call of the Sirens lace stole draws on the Greek myths about the Sirens. The Sirens’ calls could bewitch sailors to make them forget who they were and and where they were going. Often the Sirens caused them to forget to navigate their ships and the ships would be wrecked against the rocky shore.
The edging of the stole show the waves, followed by the rocky shoreline. The center portion of the stole represents the braided hair of the beautiful Sirens.
The stole is knit in Sappho I (in the I cannot work the loom colourway) from the Sanguine Gryphon – 850 yds per 3.5 oz. skein. The length is of course adjustable, but with one skein you get a stole which is approx. 75 cm x 197 cm (29.5″x 77.5″).
The pattern is available for purchase as a .pdf download at the Sanguine Gryphon site.
