Quick note on what I have been up to lately. I was playing with Estonian 2x2 gathered stitches:
The stitch I am referring to on this picture is one without yarn overs and creates sort of a "curly" fabric. I was introduced to this rather unusual stitch when I knitted Maikell Shawl from Nancy Bush's "Knitted Lace of Estonia". Absolutely loved the way it looked after the shawls were blocked. It has a 3-D feel to it. Here is a scheme and explanation:
The thinking led to designing, the designing led to writing down a scheme, the scheme - to needles, and here is a result. A stole! ( I know - big surprise :). Here are few more pictures of it.
The name for this shawl is still in works. While I was knitting it I was thinking: Dunes of Baltic Sea, but I am not yet sure. Suggestions are welcome!
PS: It is snowing where we are...

Happy Knitting Everyone!
This is most beautiful! I am fond of such stitches, too (like make 2 from 2, 3 from 3 etc).
