star of evening
a soft, dressy, easy-to-work triangle composed of a single allover lace stitch with pretty edging points along the sides and top. a great on-the-go summer project, in three sizes (one is a scarf), this project is well-suited for a first foray into triangle shawl knitting.
shown here, petite size in lanas puras melosa laceweight, from one planet yarn and fiber. kit available here.

and rachel of course, brought the pattern to it’s birth in good form . . . thank you rachel.

Yay! Beautiful! Love the blues in that yarn and the pattern is so tempting!
Frankly, it’s intimidating how quickly you finish these projects woman!

I was checking your blog all day waiting for the shawl to dry. It’s beautiful. Love the edging.

Anne, it’s just lovely. I love it! I clicked on the link to One Planet, and I didn’t see the kit there. I wonder if they’re aware you’ve released the info? Socks, tomorrow?

Really pretty. You know I tend to move away from such “clear” colors, but this is great.
May 9th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Yippeee! I’m on my way to the pattern shop . . .

SEXAY!

Absolutely gorgeous! This is a must have, in my humble opinion!
May 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
WOW! You are killin me with all your fantastic patterns, now if you could either find a way to lengthen days to ~36 hours or arrange for me to be independently wealthy so I can knit all day that would be great!
May 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
As always, your work is beautiful. The color is really pretty too.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
That is beautiful. So deliciously spikey.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Gorgeous – just beautiful!

Lovely, lovely! I was working on pear and trellis at our lys monthly knit night and someone went to look up the pattern and I heard “star of evening” and I lunged at the computer to get the yardage, because I’d had my eye on some indigo Malabrigo lace for the last few weeks. So, yarn bought and wound, I’m off to get the pattern. I need an easy lace project to go. (btw, I didn’t have any trouble keeping up with pear and trellis and conversing at the same time)

Sigh. I’m never gonna manage to knit everything I want to. But I’m not gonna let that knowledge stop me from trying.
Very very pretty.
May 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
p.s. But but but, the kits aren’t up yet! Wail!
May 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Gorgeous! I really do like that stitch pattern too…
These shawls are all so tempting. I’m not even done with the ones (five?) I’m knitting now!
May 9th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
oh it is so lovely – and looks grand on you.
and, ahem… aren’t you standing a bit dangerously close to those lilacs in that last shot? (can you say achhoo? – smile)
May 9th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Oh so pretty! This one is a must-have! (And what terrific photos, too—you are a lovely model!)
May 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Perfect for my orchid Malabrigo lace…yum-o!
May 9th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
I love it! Perfect colour for the design!
May 9th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
It really looks great Anne… I especially love your smiling face in the one shot!! I showed the kids these photos and they were quite impressed that you finished it so quickly – since they saw you working on it here… (unfortunately, they are used to their mother’s slow knitting…. which would be faster if they weren’t dragging me from one activity to another….)
May 10th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Beautiful! That color looks great on you too.
May 10th, 2008 at 1:20 am
Very pretty Anne ! And perfect for summer knitting indeed
May 10th, 2008 at 1:43 am
Thats beautiful Ann, I love the blue.
May 10th, 2008 at 4:05 am
It’s lovely. But please, could you be a little less productive? Or at least create something I don’t want to run to download? Or maybe show it in a color that doesn’t make my heart race?
Thank you.
May 10th, 2008 at 6:20 am
You’re my hero. Seriously.
Beautiful job, once again.
May 10th, 2008 at 6:27 am
another winner
May 10th, 2008 at 7:25 am
The kits are still not up… sigh. that won’t stop me, I’m on my way to your shop for the pattern, star of evening is sooo very beautiful. Thank you!
May 10th, 2008 at 7:34 am
So elegant! I love the all over repeat of the design, making it so soft and elegant looking. This one is definitely in my queue…perhaps for some lovely chocolate colored lace weight just sitting patiently in my stash!
May 10th, 2008 at 8:05 am
You look mahvelous, darling……..hope David took you out for dinner! The shawl is marvelous, too!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:25 am
I’ve grown addicted to your blog! I can’t wait to be able to knit everything I’ve already bought from your patterns .. and you keep coming out with more! Stop! *winks*
May 10th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Just lovely, as always!
May 10th, 2008 at 11:44 am
You are now my offical pusher! There I was in Burger King playland yesterday, trying to figure out if I could purchase the pattern from mobile web on my phone. This is bad! =) Finally snapped myself out of the knitter’s high — I mean trance — and waited until I could download it onto my laptop like a normal person, well, normal knitter anyway.
May 10th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Oh, that’s lovely! hmm…
(((hugs)))
May 10th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Beautiful as always, Anne. I’m ordering the pattern now!
May 10th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Gorgeous!
May 10th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
So lovely. Keep doing what you are so good at!
May 10th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Post-blocking it turned out lovely as expected…although I can’t say if I’m more entranced by the pattern or the color…
May 10th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I’ve been waiting for this pattern to be available since that first little swatch you showed! It’s just as beautiful as anticipated.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
It’s gorgeous & I love the color too. It’s definitely a BRILLIANT STAR! You are great in your designs.
May 11th, 2008 at 11:24 am
I felt so good getting 3 repeats of Gust done! Your shawl/lace makes me feel very small but joyeous! I will master this, thank you for another fabulous pattern
May 11th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Lovely as usual! I always love to look at your finished lace it is always beautiful.
May 11th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Lovely!!! You are certainly on a roll, Missy!
May 11th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I started it yesterday in a lace weight black, brown and red yarn that looks like a fire to me, so I am calling ti the fire shawl. I am almost through the first repeat of the body chart (almost Row 24). This is a great pattern — so crystal clear, all the way down to where to place and slip the markers. I might have to teach a lace class this summer and have the students knit this shawl. Oh, it’s beautiful. Oh, I’ms o happy! Thanks for another great design, Anne — again!
May 11th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
To pick up on a totally non-knitted element in this post – you have gorgeous hair.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:37 am
Just lovely! The pattern is on my hard drive, the shawl on my short-list
May 12th, 2008 at 2:51 am
Very lovely!
May 12th, 2008 at 6:32 am
So beautiful. I just found the perfect yarn for Wing of the Moth (Fibre Company Canopy sport, from Soho Purls)–I can’t keep up with you!
May 12th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Anne- I’m getting the pattern NOW!
Love the lipstick- you look fab darling!
May 13th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Wonderful. It must be the perfect shawl project to carry everywhere, isn’t it? I bet one learns the pattern by heart pretty quickly.
May 13th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
That would be so nice in handspun too! What a great, versatile pattern!
May 20th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
It’s beautiful, Anne. But then, I knew it would be.
