Holidays in Old North Festival and Craft Market - December 13th, 11 to 4 - Norah's Knits will be there!

The sale will be in Old North St. Louis, in the redevelopment area in the 2 blocks just south of Crown Candy Kitchen. The address for Crown is 1401 St. Louis Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63106. Old North St. Louis is directly north of downtown St. Louis, just west of Interstate 70/44. From downtown on I-70 going north, take the Madison exit, go about 6 blocks north to St. Louis Avenue, then go left (west) on St. Louis Avenue over the highway and 2 blocks to North 14th. There is a large parking lot behind the store fronts on North 14th.

Here's a link to more info about the sale and event - there will be lots going on in addition to a number of vendors with hand-made and vintage items:

Thistle leaf lace pattern

This Thistle Leaf pattern is from the Barbara Walker Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. It's very botanical and I think it's beautiful. I finished a cream-colored silk scarf using the pattern (Purl Soho Cattail Silk, 1 skein), pictured here, after doing a swatch (dark green) which I turned into a doily-type item with several rows of crochet added around the edge. Now I am working on a bigger rectangular shawl using the same lace pattern, out of Purl Soho's Sweetgrass (undyed organic cotton and alpaca) in a light beige-tinged gray. I love the pattern but at 28 rows (14 right-side pattern rows), I'm finding it to be too complicated to memorize. So I have to work with the pattern right in front of me.

Noro Ginga Lap Blankets

I purchased 10 skeins each of two different colors this yarn, which is a super-bulky weight yarn but is sort of light and fluffy. The colors had too much yellow and orange for my taste, but knit up into blankets, with edges worked in half-double crochet, they look pretty good. The one above appeared sort of misshapen after the knitted center was done, but the crocheted edges straightened it out, I think. The one below is the type I would make again, using mitered squares.
