Here are my latest shawl designs. More are coming soon!

 

PLEASE NOTE: I'm in the process of changing my shopping cart for my shawl patterns over to Payloadz for direct downloads - instant gratification! At this time, you can order any of my shawl patterns in .pdf format for instant download. The hardcopy patterns will remain in the "old" format - that is the shopping cart will take you to PayPal and I will get an e-mail to send your patterns to you via USPS. You can ONLY order patterns in one or the other format. If you wish to purchase some patterns in .pdf format and others in hard copy format, you will need to place two orders. As of today (2-18-07) my sock patterns are available the "old" way, that is, you will be taken to PayPal's shopping cart as usual. If you wish to order patterns other than what is on this page, please place a separate order.
There will likely be glitches, so if you don't receive your download instructions, please send me an e-mail at catmccall at yahoo dot com and I'll fix it ASAP. Thank you so much for your patience.

Each hardcopy pattern is fully charted with written directions in a clear plastic sheath that can be put in a 3-ring binder.  A color picture is on the front of a cardstock cover sheet.  On the back of the cover sheet are abbreviated instructions for you pros and inside are large charts and chatty instructions for newer knitters.

I also offer all of these patterns written line-by-line on index cards for those of you who prefer that format.  These versions will come to you with full written instructions, but no charts.

 

If you see a pattern you want to knit, but the blurb says that there are no line-by-line instructions and you prefer them, please drop me a note and I'll be happy to add the line-by-line instructions to your pattern.

 

Tell me what you think!
