Hitty’s Knittys, a happy group of needle-workers from around the world, recently paid tribute to the delightful Quimper Hittys by participating in Knit-A-Long featuring an original pattern by Sylvia Bo Bilvia of Softsweater Knits – The Lonely Tree. Rose, of the Quimper Hittys, recently completed a number of beautiful lace shawls that set Hitty’s needle-working community a-buzz with admiration, determination and not a little covetousness.
An intrepid knitter and teacher led the lace-knitting KAL with much patience, grace and humor. Oh, there were many dropped stitches and much ripping out of rows, likely even some gnashing of teeth, but success was achieved by many and learning accomplished by all.

Delphie’s shawl was knit with KnitPicks Bare Shadow Lace Yarn, hand-dyed with Kool-Aid.
Sylvia’s original pattern may be found on Ravelry.
